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.
Some of the areas that volunteers help include: DOG WALKING/SOCIALIZATION, CAT CARE/ENRICHMENT, CARE & SOCIALIZATION FOR OUR SMALL CRITTERS, EVENTS & FUNDRAISING, FOSTER PROGRAM, 2ND CHANCE THRIFT STORE & MORE!
