volunteers are vital

If you love them, we need you!

Volunteer support is greatly appreciated and serves as an integral part of the operation and enhancement of the Friends of the Pet Adoption Center. Volunteer work complements staff efforts as we strive to achieve our mission. These individual, group and corporate volunteers provide many services that maintain our facility and improve the well-being of the animals in our care each year.

• In Shelter
  • Kennel encrichment
  • Potty breaks
  • Play-yard time
• Community Service
• Fostering
• Fundraising
• Community Programs
• and more!

We would love to have you join our volunteer team.  Not only the pets will benefit from your time with us, but we believe you as an individual will gain a rewarding experience.

• You will make a difference in the lives of homeless pets
• You can develop new skills while exploring an exciting new field
• You will learn about caring for pets
• You will meet new people with similar interest
• You can get valuable work experience

We offer flexible schedules for volunteers. Staff reserves the right to set a minimum/maximum number of hours available for certain volunteer projects, but we will work with individuals to best address their needs. 

Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, and she will reach out to you about our available opportunities. 

Once you have been approved as a Volunteer, you will be required to attend an orientation prior to joining our staff.
