Wanna Be a Shelter Volunteer? Live Chat Today!

What kind of training do I need to volunteer at a shelter?

My teenager wants to volunteer—what does she need to know?

I run an animal shelter in my small town. How can I find qualified volunteers?

Donating your time to animals in need is one of the most rewarding commitments you can make. Volunteering at a shelter provides mutual fulfillment for both human and animal—and it’s a great way to satisfy your desire for animal companionship if you can’t have a pet right now or your landlord doesn’t allow animals. Volunteering is also a fun option for older students who want school community service experience.

Join Diane Wilkerson, Senior Manager at the ASPCA Adoption Center, for a live discussion on shelter volunteering in the ASPCA Online Community. The chat will take place today, September 26, from noon to 2:00 P.M. EST. Interestingly, Diane was a volunteer herself before joining our staff!

My daughter feels bad, and wants to make a difference for the animals. She is happy with what you do.
