Ready to HELP?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Harmony New Beginnings Animal Rescue (HNBAR)! Volunteers provide important support for us in our efforts to re-home rescue horses, livestock, dogs, cats, and other animals. When an animal comes into our care, they are often feeling stressed, abandoned, and sometimes have been abused. Volunteers can play a big part in an animal’s recovery so that they can be adopted into a loving home.
HNBAR’s mission is to help each animal become happy, healthy, and secure. Stability, routine, correct handling and training, nutrition, and care are important. We are devoted to providing the very best care possible to these souls that come to us for our help. These animals have been through a lot and deserve our best efforts now to help them overcome any issues and prepare them for new homes. You can help us with this mission!
As a volunteer, we are looking for people who are willing to learn, take direction, work independently, and make a regular time commitment. Whether you can commit a couple of hours a week or a couple of days, your help is appreciated! As a bonus, you will have the opportunity to learn more about these incredible animals and to share in the joy of seeing them move on to their new homes with their own special people!
Please be aware that your commitment to volunteer on-site at the rescue on a certain day and time forms the basis for our activity planning during the week. We are a small rescue, and volunteers mean that our staff can schedule vet visits, meet with potential adopters, respond to phone calls, and coordinate animal rescues and help for the community. We request that you consider your commitment very carefully and that we can count on you.
Since most of our rescue animals are from unknown backgrounds, range from large to small animals, and some may have behavioral issues, we must consider the health and safety of the animals and our volunteers. We encourage you to consider volunteering for specific activities, based on your interests, capabilities, and available time. Suggested volunteer activities include:
We also have occasional needs for help with things like bucking and stacking hay, moving supplies and equipment, mending fences, and getting ready for adoption events.
We encourage anybody who is interested to inquire about volunteering with us–everybody has abilities which can help with our animals in need! (Our current volunteers range from youths to seniors, all coming to help out as they are able.)
Please complete the form below and we will contact you to discuss how you can help our animals. We look forward to meeting you!

Youths under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and work as a team due to the nature of working with and around animals. Those age 16 up may be allowed to volunteer without an adult, however, this will have to be reviewed by leadership on a case-by-case basis due to liability and the nature of working around and with animals that have been abused and neglected and can be unpredictable.
Note: The rescue is on private property and we must work around and respect the schedules of the property owners, so we prefer not to have regular volunteer time on the weekends. Weekends are reserved for specially scheduled volunteer events only.

Harmony new Beginnings Animal Rescue is located on a private property so out of respect for the residents of the property we will hold organized work days based on the property owners schedules.
During the spring and summer we try to plan to have work party days on Saturday's as needed and these days are announced on our Facebook page. There may also be additional days available if agreed on in advance.
During the winter months the work does not stop, in fact it increases and we still need help. Work party days may need to be changed based on weather conditions.
