Volunteer

We are an all-volunteer workforce. Pet Welfare has no paid staff. Everyone from the Chairman of the Board to the shift volunteers donate their time and energy to provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for the animals in our care until the perfect person comes along to make each cat or dog a permanent member of their family.
WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF DEDICATED, CARING VOLUNTEERS!

Dog Shift Volunteers
Volunteers come in every day of the week, including holidays, to make sure the dogs are fed, walked, socialized, and clean any areas that the dogs sleep in or spend the day. We have a morning shift (typically starts about 7:00am) that lets all the dogs out in the morning and an evening shift (typically starts about 4:00pm) that puts them back to bed. The shifts will typically last about 2 hours depending on the number of volunteers on the shift and the amount of dogs at the kennel

Cat Shift Volunteers
Volunteers come in every day of the week, including holidays, to make sure the cats are fed, socialized, and clean all litter boxes. We have a morning shift and an evening shift.

Office Volunteers
Volunteers come in Monday - Saturday, 9:00am - 1:00pm, excluding holidays to answer phones, show animals to prospective adopters, and perform office administrative duties.
