Shelter Helpers- At Lollypop Farm
Shelter Helpers is a fun in-person program specially designed for students looking for opportunities to help their community. Perfect for young animal lovers (8-16 years-old) Shelter Helpers will explore different ways that youth can help homeless pets.
Participants may create a variety of enrichment toys, devise adoption promotion materials, and participate in keeping the shelter grounds tidy – not to mention get some hands-on animal socialization time!

COVID-19 In-Shelter Policies
- All people will practice social distancing as much as possible while on campus. Tables and chairs will be set up to keep participants spaced apart.
- Our policy is social distancing as much as feasibly possible within a childcare setting. While we will be encouraging and aiming to positively reinforce social distancing, much of our focus is on ways to promote disease prevention if and when social distancing is broken—such as increased hand washing and sanitizing, keeping in small stable groups, and sanitizing spaces and objects between uses.
