Adults and teens care for the animals and keep the cages clean. At the main shelter location in Columbiana: Volunteers are needed to play with and walk the dogs and bathe and groom the animals. Experienced office help is also needed. ·         Applications for volunteers are available in the Guidance Office. For more information, please contact www.shelbyhumane.org
