Become a Volunteer
We are always looking for caring volunteers who can help support our mission and be a voice for animals in need. There are many ways to volunteer, including socializing with pets, fostering an animal, supporting our outreach programs, helping to provide a clean and safe environment, providing office/clerical support and so much more. Our volunteers play an essential role in supporting the needs of the animals and finding them their forever homes. No prior experience or animal expertise required.
These volunteer opportunities offer a variety of times throughout the day that allow you the flexibility to volunteer around your schedule – seven days per week between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. All volunteers are welcome, including service-learning students, community service and youth volunteers. Volunteers under the age of 18 will require consent from a parent/legal guardian. Any volunteers ages 10-15 must also be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or an adult who has completed the required online orientation. Volunteers under the age of 10 are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure the safety of those children volunteering.
Simply complete the application below, and you can be an integral part of the amazingly large group of volunteers it takes to assist us in advocating and guiding our efforts to support the betterment of those animals in need. The volunteer process is quick and easy. It takes just a few minutes to complete the application.
Once the application process is completed and reviewed, you will receive an email invite to sign up for an hour of online orientation, which is required for all volunteers. There is a small orientation fee of $20 that helps support the training and needs of volunteers and includes a volunteer t-shirt.
During the orientation, volunteers learn about the humane association, our policies and procedures, as well as the programs you can get involved with.
