What to Expect
Part 1: Thrift Shop Service Project
Jump into action with hands-on help supporting the Animal Humane NM Thrift team! You'll assist with a variety of high-needs tasks that directly support the Animal Humane NM mission, from organizing donations to merchandising and beyond.
Part 2: Cat Enclosure Enrichment

Part 3: Canine Meet & Greet
