Volunteering
Volunteers are the backbone of the Morris Animal Refuge. Whether you're socializing cats, walking dogs, assisting with an adoption event, or cleaning cages, we couldn't save lives without you!

The Hachette Book Group came to the Refuge for a day of group volunteer work! They did a fantastic job cleaning the shelter and taking our dogs on long walks.

Our dedicated volunteers come in to walk our dogs, giving them much needed exercise, socialization, and a break from the shelter.

A volunteer group from Temple University hosts a small adoption and fundraising event in the warmer weather.
Fostering
Foster families allow our small animal shelter to expand by leaps and bounds. When you foster, you are at the forefront of saving lives by providing temporary care to an animal that can't thrive in the shelter but will eventually find their permanent loving home!
