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.

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.
