Community Service Opportunities
If you need to complete a certain number of hours for school, an extracurricular activity or court, the first step is to fill out our community service application.
Community Service hours are tracked separately from regular volunteer hours, since these hours have to be reported to an outside agency.
Please note:
- Services hours are animal care and cleaning tasks that do not involve animal handling.
- CS workers can come in Monday through Sunday, except on holidays.
- CS workers MUST start at 8:30am, as this is when most service hours tasks are completed.
Below are our requirements to help:
- Ages 10-15 (Junior): A parent or guardian must sign the waiver, accompany, and remain with the volunteer while on duty for both programs and events. The parent or guardian who will accompany the Junior Volunteer to the shelter must also attend orientation.
- Ages 16 to 17 (Young Adult): A parent or guardian must sign the volunteer waiver and should be available by telephone whenever the volunteer is at the shelter.
- Ages 18 and up (Adult): No limitations.
For safety reasons, children under the age of 10 are not permitted to volunteer or accompany volunteers for their volunteer shift.

Getting Started!
Ready to get involved and make a difference? We’re excited to have you consider joining our volunteer program!

In an effort to make our orientation more accessible we are transitioning away from in-person and moving toward an online orientation. By completing this form you will be added to our volunteer interest list and we will be in touch with a link to our online orientation.
We’re grateful for your interest in supporting our mission—and we can’t wait to welcome you to the team!
There are two ways to volunteer with our organization!
