How You Can Serve

The ACS volunteer program has a need for people with a range of skillsets and passions. Check out some of the ways you can serve below.

Administration

Assist staff with answering phones, greeting customers, and answering questions from the public.

Adoption

Volunteer as an adoption counselor assistant and work with shelter staff on pre-adoption meetings and follow-ups, as well as on canine outings.

Animal Care

Help our cats and dogs by becoming a dog walker or a cat greeter. Other important tasks include assisting with feeding, grooming, laundry, and more.

Tech

Help our staff with taking pictures of pets, updating our social media, and other technology-focused tasks.

Education and Outreach

Join staff and assist with community presentations and promotions.

Facilities Maintenance

If you can use a broom, work a mop, and are eager to help the animals in our care, we’d love to have you on our team.

VolunTeens

The ACS shelter has volunteer positions available for teens 12 years and older to serve on Saturdays, after school, or over the summer. Parent or guardian approval is required. This is a great opportunity for teens to earn service hours with their school district or community groups.
