Volunteer orientations are held on a Tuesday in the middle of each month. In an effort to accommodate all schedules, we offer two orientation options. One session is held at noon, and another session is held at 6pm. After completing your volunteer application, you will receive an email with the next available orientation date. One week before the orientation, you will be emailed the Zoom links.
First, you will need to complete a volunteer questionnaire and pay the $20 new volunteer registration fee. After your questionnaire has been submitted, you will need to attend a virtual volunteer orientation. Lastly, you will be trained by one of our volunteer trainers in the area that you choose to volunteer in.
All individuals must be at least 18 years or older to participate in our volunteer program. We ask that volunteers in any area volunteer an average of six hours a month during a one-year period to maintain your active status. If you are not able to meet six hours per month, please email the volunteer manager at volunteer.coordinator@saveapetil.org. We also require that volunteers abide by our Terms & Conditions found in the volunteer questionnaire, and follow all safety direction provided to them by staff.
While we are not able to have children and teens volunteer in the shelter, there are several other ways they can help the animals. Email Teri at Volunteer.coordinator@saveapetil.org for more information.
