Opportunity Details
Dog Walking
- Volunteers will help socialize and exercise the dogs at the shelters. This is a rewarding experience for the volunteers and crucial to the physical and mental well-being of the animals in our care. Socialization and exercise will also help improve the dog’s chance of getting adopted.
Cat and Rabbit/Small Animal Cuddling:
- Volunteers will take animals out of their enclosures one at a time to provide socialization
- Tasks may include playing with toys, cuddling and brushing the animals
*Small animals are typically guinea pigs.
Where

Time Commitment
The amount of time is flexible based on the volunteer’s schedule, but the volunteer should be able to identify a consistent time slot they are able to come. (e.g. Wednesdays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.) Volunteers are also required to attend an orientation and review the Animal Services volunteer manual.
Note: We do not offer high school student volunteer hours.
