Gentle Touch is an all-volunteer organization. Without the kindness and support of our volunteers we would not be able to give our animals the love and attention they need and deserve.

Hundreds of homeless animals are euthanized weekly because the facilities that house them cannot manage the large volume of animals they receive.

Gentle Touch steps in and rescues these animals; however, we can only rescue as many animals as we have volunteers for.

We are looking for volunteers to help with a number of duties caring for our animals at the Sanctuary. We need people for many different shifts and days. Duties may include basic animal care, medical care, general cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, cleaning cages, washing litter pans, and assisting with adoptions. You can choose what days and hours work best for you.

We are also looking for volunteers who can help out at the Petsmart Luv-a-Pet Centers in St Louis Park and Plymouth by cleaning cages, checking on our animals, and spending quality time with them.

Animal transporters are urgently needed. Transporters take animals to our participating Petsmart locations and may include picking up those who may need to come back to the Sanctuary. This is an on-call volunteer opportunity.

Special events volunteers and Petsmart adoption day volunteers are needed as well. These one-day opportunities are perfect for those who cannot commit to a regular volunteer schedule but still offers an opportunity to help the animals.

We are a very small organization, and would love to have you come and join our family of volunteers. For more information, or if you are interested in volunteering, please call 763-537-5599. Or you can reach us by e-mail --> Here <-- Hours and days are very flexible, but does require a commitment and weekly scheduling so we know our animals are always taken care of.
