Volunteer

WHAT: Want a hands-on experience caring for dogs? Want to positively impact so many lives — not just the lives of dogs you help save, but also the lives of people who adopt them? Want to be a valued member of a dedicated team, and know that you’re really making a difference? THEN YOU BELONG AT ANIMAL AID!!!

Nothing’s more rewarding than helping a scared dog gain confidence, a neglected dog discover the joy of a squeak toy, or an abused dog learn that human touch feels good!

And, nothing’s more bittersweet than saying goodbye to a dog YOU helped, because you’ve made it possible for him to go home with a forever family.

Be part of the magic!

WHEN: You decide! Our shelter operates in two shifts per day: AM shift is 9am to noon, and PM shift is 3:00pm or 3:30pm to 6pm, please check with your Shift Leader.

You’d pick one shift per week (e.g., Saturday AM shift, Tuesday PM shift). That’s it — just one three-hour commitment per week, and you’ll make a world of difference in a homeless dog’s life!

WHO: Our volunteers range in age from 18-to-84. They include retirees putting their wisdom and experience to work for a great cause, military service members and students who miss their family pets, active folks who want to get their steps in, and dog-lovers who just want to love dogs! Everyone contributes however they can, and together, we create a safe, loving haven for homeless dogs.

We’re happy to write letters of recommendation/certify volunteer hours for military, students, and job-seekers. We support court-ordered service hours for traffic offenses ONLY. Please note, for court-ordered hours, you must complete 30 hours of service to AAS before we will certify your time.
