Animal Care League's volunteers bring a variety of skill sets to the table and work to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals
ACL Volunteers contributed over 19,000 hours of service in 2019! Volunteers do more than give up their free time to lend a hand, they make a difference in the lives of over 1200 animals that come through our doors each year. Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting our mission focused work. Animal Care League is always looking for those with a passion for both pets and people to join our volunteer team. As a brand ambassador for the organization, Animal Care League volunteers embody the values of the organization and assist with everything from animal care and enrichment to events and fundraising.
