Volunteer Helpers!

We need your help…

We hope you’ll consider helping at the HODC with just a few hours of your time!  Showing a dog?  We are happy to work around ring and grooming times.

PERKS:  Volunteers receive FREE PARKING and LUNCH (on the day(s) they volunteer)!  Can only give an hour or two?  We’ll work with you!   Just make a note on the sign up form or contact Lynn at dlsnelson819@yahoo.com or 602-301-9415.

We are particularly in need of individuals to help set up the show on Tuesday, January 27th and Wednesday, January 28th as well as tear down on Monday, February 2nd.  With many hands, we can accomplish our tasks quickly!

Our sign up form, can be found using the following JotForm link or by clicking on the VOLUNTEER graphic above https://form.jotform.com/252966411800152.  Please open, scroll through, and select the area(s) and time slot(s) where you would like to help; again, don’t worry about the 4-hour time block. Follow the onscreen directions and you’ll be immediately added to our database and receive a confirmation email – you’ll also receive email reminders closer to the show date.   Confirmed volunteers will be contacted as to when to pick up parking tickets and lunch vouchers.

Please feel free to share the link with your breed clubs, family and/or friends who would like to volunteer with us!  If you have any questions, contact Lynn Nelson at dlsnelson819@yahoo.com or heartofthedesertclassic@gmail.com.

We look forward to working with you to make the 2026 Heart of the Desert ClassicTM another great success!
