To volunteer at the shelter you must complete 3 steps:
1. Submit and successfully pass a Background History Check
2. Complete the Volunteer Application and attend one volunteer orientation meeting
3. Attend one cat & dog handling class
You must complete a Background History Check prior to volunteering at the shelter. Please download the Background Check and Volunteer Application from the homepage and fill them out and turn them in to the shelter (You can also fill out the application online from the homepage of this website). Upon successfull completion of the background check we will notify you of the date and time of the next available volunteer orientation meeting. This background check is performed at our expense. If the background check is cleared you will be notifed by email of the next available volunteer orientation date.
Next you must complete one volunteer orientation meeting. For the dates of upcoming orientation meetings check our calendar of upcoming events under the Events menu at the top of this screen. Someone will contact you with an available date after you have completed the background check successfully. It is a good idea to turn in your Volunteer Application when you submit your Background Check form.
After you have completed a successful background check and have attended the volunteer orientation meeting you will sign up for and attend a Cat & Dog Handling Class. Times and dates for these classes are posted on the calendar under the Events section of our website.
