The Somerset Regional Animal Shelter houses cats and dogs waiting for homes, and FOSRAS is the friends group that supports it. The animals need clean rooms, food and human company every day of the year. Volunteers choose the shifts and tasks that fit them, and there is no minimum number of hours. Anyone with a special skill set can discuss it at orientation.
