Hello, kind soul! Here at Against All Oddz Animal Alliance INC., we are looking for folks who have a passion to bring order and charm to their environment and don't mind getting a little bit of dog-fur on their clothes (or potentially some slobbery kisses). Located in rural Darien Center, only minutes from Darien Lake Amusement Park, we are a mixed rescue/sanctuary for dogs caught up in the legal system with nowhere to go. We have 47-acres of pristine rolling pastures, lush forests, and even a federally-protected wetlands on the edge of our property!
Each of our 12 dogs either lives in their own cabin (with A/Cs, heaters, electric, all the amenities to make them comfortable) with the ability to enter and exit their own personal fenced-in run whenever they please! Our more social dogs live in our "Hotel" facility that is the central hub for most supplies and where volunteers hang out the most. Each of these dogs have their own private kennel space, and connected runs that allow them to run and play with each other as much as they want! It's quite adorable to watch.
That being said, it takes a lot of hands to keep all 6 cabins and Hotel in tip-top shape (especially in the dreaded mud season that is spring) to ensure our furry residents stay healthy and bright, especially the ones who will be living here their entire lives. While we ask all volunteers to participate in housekeeping, we understand there are people out there who specifically do not want to handle the dogs, but still want to help out how they can. They are always our biggest heroes because of the harmony they bring to our rescue through cleaning and organizing! It can be very busy here, so with a little bit of your TLC, you can help enrich not just a dog's quality of life here, but also the other staff and volunteers running around nonstop!
