UAF Ranch, 2600 Heckethorn Road, Prescott, az, US**NEW YARD MAINTENANCE VOLUNTEERS WILL BE ACCEPTED IN MAY 2026**
Weâre looking for volunteers to help us weed the play yards we use for dog training.

When completing the Volunteer Form, select "Yard Maintenance at UAF Rescue Ranch." (If you're already an approved UAF volunteer or have already submitted one, you do not need to re-submit.)
What to bring: Gloves, water, bucket, and any weeding tools you have. We may have some on hand, but they are dirty.
Dog group play: Bring your dog if your dog is an active Level 2 class participant AND has been approved by Sammi for group play or contact her for pre-approval at 310-382-0079. All dogs in a playgroup must be assessed for compatibility. If dogs are found incompatible, Sammi will consider splitting the dogs in different groups and/or other secured play yards.
Parking: Park in the lot where we have dog training classes.
Your support makes a big difference! Letâs make the play yard a wonderful space for adoptable dogs and class dog participants to enjoy it! đȘđ»
