At Lost Our Home, we work closely with like-minded non-profits, dedicated volunteers, and community service groups who, like us, want to make our community a better place for all. With their partnerships, we are able to expand our capacity to serve the people in our community, while also enriching the lives of the pets in our care.

We partner with many non-profits to use our shelter for their on-site work readiness programs which help individuals with disabilities. Our shelter is a loving, fun environment in which disabled individuals can develop good work habits and social skills that promote interaction, communication, empathy, responsibility, self-esteem, and confidence.

We also offer businesses, service organizations, clubs, groups, families, and individuals a variety of volunteer opportunities that provide rewarding experiences, while enriching the lives of the pets entrusted to our care. This includes projects for corporate team building, Eagle Scout and Girl Scout badge projects, ABC (Animal Book Club) program and more!  Foster opportunities are also available for those willing to open their homes and hearts in service to pets and their families.

Lost Our Home works in partnership with other pet welfare organizations, as well as other nonprofits, like domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, veterans’ services and emergency services. It’s a way for both organizations to expand their capacity to serve and it makes for a healthier and happier community.
