Volunteers serve important roles at our shelters, in the community,              and in their own homes. Find an opportunity that's right for you!

Adoption Preparation

Volunteers working in adoption preparation use specific behavior modification protocols to help rehabilitate shy and fearful animals for the adoption floor and help them ultimately find a new home. 

Adoption Support

Volunteers working in adoption support provide two important roles in helping to fulfill our mission. The first is customer assistance on the adoption floor, answering questions from visitors and facilitating visitations. The second is animal socialization that helps keep our animals happy, healthy and adoptable. 

Animal Bather

Volunteers help groom and bathe animals available for adoption (primarily dogs) to help keep them healthy and in good appearance for potential adopters. 

Animal Care Assistant

Volunteers working in animal care help fulfill the mission by providing animals with clean, comfortable housing that leads to healthier happier and ultimately more adoptable animals. 

Exam Assistant

Volunteers working in the exam department provide support to the veterinarians and veterinary technicians during the animals’ exam process and help provide treatment and assist with dispensing medication to the animals in our care.

Education Programs Support

Volunteers working in this role assist with Youth Club programs we offer to the youths in our community. The Youth Club is led by our humane educators and volunteers lend their time and experience to help ensure great experiences for the youths. Volunteers assist educators by making sure that activities run smoothly and that the kids get the instructional attention they need. There are also opportunities for volunteers to get more involved by developing curriculum and planning and preparing fun and educational activities. 

Foster volunteers

Foster volunteers provide care for animals that are not yet ready for adoption. We have a variety of animals that need foster care including animals too young for adoption, nursing moms, animals needing supportive health care or time to recover after surgery and temporary placements for owners in transition.
