Volunteer

The dedication and support of our 400+ volunteers help us to continue to Improve the Lives of Animals while strengthening the human-animal bond in the community. Our various volunteer positions allow for an opportunity to help animals in need, learn about proper care, and give back to the community in significant ways.

We are very fortunate to have a strong group of volunteers who dedicate their time to us. This means that we don’t always have openings available.

When we need more volunteers, we will post links to applications in the online volunteer opportunity descriptions. This usually only happens once or twice a year because of the large number of applications we receive. We thank you for your patience in this process and welcome and encourage you to apply when positions become available.
