Volunteer Information
Make a Difference!
With more than 20,000 animals per year coming into our care, our
shelter is always in need of volunteers to help make the
animals' stay at the shelter pleasant, increase adoptions and
provide foster care when needed.
Volunteers are an invaluable component of our shelter and serve
a number of important functions to better the lives of the
animals. Volunteers really do make a difference!
Animal lovers from ages 16 to senior, with a
variety of skills and experiences who want to make a difference in the lives
of shelter animals. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age to have
hands-on contact with the animals. Applicants must be free of criminal
record.
The first step is to attend a General Shelter
Orientation, which are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from
6:00-7:30 p.m. Orientation is held at 4145 Branch Center at the corner of
Kiefer and Branch Center in the Cooperative Extension Building around the
corner from the shelter. Orientations are not held at the shelter. An
application and other required forms will be provided at orientation (please
bring a pen). Teens must attend with a parent or guardian. No appointment is
necessary to attend.
