Volunteers are the backbone of the lifesaving work that we do, providing an important service that allows us to more efficiently do our work and give top notch care to animals.
Becoming a volunteer is easy! Simply click the link below to fill out a volunteer application. One of our volunteer coordinators will be in touch with you to get you scheduled for orientation. Volunteers must be 18 years or older, or 16 or 17 if supervised by a parent or guardian who must also have gone through volunteer training. Please allow 1-2 weeks for a response to your application.
October 25, 2023 update:
