Animal Care League Volunteer Program
We could not provide for our animals the way we do without the commitment of dedicated volunteers who do whatever it takes to benefit the shelter and improve the quality of life for the animals in our care.
The Animal Care League is looking for volunteers who wish to make a commitment to the shelter and the animals. Volunteers are requested to provide a minimum of four hours of service per month on a regular basis for a minimum commitment of six months. Volunteers use part of their volunteer time with our animals and also spend a portion of their time helping with animal support activities such as laundry, dishes, washing litter boxes and other shelter responsibilities. Volunteers are needed 365 days a year!
New volunteers begin as green level and may walk and interact with our green level dogs. Green level volunteers may also interact with cats and kittens that are out of their cages. At times areas may be restricted so that staff can perform their duties.
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT INTENDED TO FULFILL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOOL, NOR IS IT DESIGNED TO FULFILL COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS FOR SCHOOL OR COURT.
PLEASE CONTACT THE SHELTER MANAGER TO FIND OUT WHAT PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THESE PURPOSES.
We have two categories of volunteers:
Adult volunteers: 17 year of age and up*
Family volunteers: Families with children 10-16 years of age. Parents are required to be with their children at all times. When walking dogs, the parent must be in control of dog by holding leash at all times.
All potential volunteers are required to attend a Volunteer Training Class. Class is held at the shelter.
To begin the volunteer process you will need to:
*Adult volunteers, once established, have many more volunteer opportunities available. Opportunities to help with offsite adoptions, humane ed., foster care, special events, office work and more are also available.
If you have additional questions, please contact us at volunteer@animalcareleague.org.
