Junior Volunteers (Ages 15 & Under) 

 We love working with the pet parents of tomorrow and are excited to welcome young animal lovers to our team!

Volunteering Guidelines:
  • All volunteers under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign their release form during the application process.
  • Volunteers ages 15 & under must have a parent or guardian present and actively involved at all times while volunteering.
  • Not all roles are suitable for young children, so we encourage families to contact our Volunteer Department to find the best fit for their interests and abilities.
