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!

All areas needing helpers, along with available time slots, can be found using the SignUpGenius link below.  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.

Sign Up!

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!
