Be A Volunteer with AVAnimal Rescue

The gift of time and attention is one of the most important ways you can help AVAnimal Rescue.

Volunteers are vital to our mission of caring for homeless canines and felines and working to create a more compassionate and humane community. We would not be able to provide the care needed without the commitment, dedication, and reliability of volunteers who invest their time and energy.

Interested in being a Volunteer? Call 1-(877) 350-2827

Listed below are several tasks that volunteers do at AVAnimal Rescue. Some activities involve working directly with the dogs and cats waiting for new homes. Others are tasks that indirectly assist the animals, but are still critical to their well-being. Please take a look at these volunteer activities, and follow the steps to sign up and get started. Whatever you choose to do will make a huge difference!

Volunteer Job Opportunities

Canine Associates
Volunteers work with dogs that are temporarily housed by AVAnimal Rescue, teaching good kennel manners to them. Canine Associates are trained to use the correct equipment and give individualized attention to the dogs, including comforting, walking, feeding, grooming and cleaning


Feline Associates
Volunteers work with the cats housed in the shelter, providing them with cuddling, comforting, playing, grooming, feeding, and cleaning.

Grooming
Sometimes our canine and feline guests need some beauty spa time. A bath, comb, and haircut helps with appearances and adoptions.


Mobile Outreach
Volunteers travel to popular shopping areas areas where we take a few of our dog and cat guests to meet the public for adoptions. This outreach increases community awareness of AVAnimal Rescue and facilitates adoption of our animals. Volunteers help keep the animals calm, assist with future adoptions and interact with the public. Mobile Outreach events are typically held on Saturdays and Sundays, with an occasional weekday event.


Fostering
Volunteers who decide to become foster parents are providing a temporary home for canines and felines with special needs - those who are very young, ill or need individual help with socialization. Sometimes animals are fostered when they just need a home environment prior to being adopted.


Special Events

Volunteers provide invaluable assistance in planning, implementing, and staffing fundraising, outreach and educational events to raise funds and/or awareness of AVAnimal Rescue and animal welfare.

Administrative Support
Volunteers provide clerical, data entry and data management support for regular AVAnimal Rescues administrative functions, as well as doing special projects.

Getting Started

Volunteering for AVAnimal Rescue is fun and very rewarding. You will not only be helping the animals, but will meet others who share your interests. The staff, Board of Directors and our four legged residents are deeply appreciative of the commitment of time, energy and attention by volunteers.
