Volunteer FAQs - Save-A-Pet, Inc.

When is the next volunteer orientation?

We have temporarily paused our volunteer orientation sessions because we are currently hiring a new Volunteer Program Coordinator. We anticipate resuming orientations by mid-May. We appreciate your patience and understanding. In the meantime, you can read more about the volunteer process on any of the pages under the “Get Involved” menu above. Also, stay informed about our organization here on our website or by following us on social media (links are available below). Thank you for your interest in Save-A-Pet and for your continued support!

What is the process to become a volunteer?

First, you will need to complete a volunteer questionnaire and pay the $20 new volunteer registration fee. After your questionnaire has been submitted, you will need to attend a virtual volunteer orientation. Lastly, you will be trained by one of our volunteer trainers in the area that you choose to volunteer in.

Are there any volunteer requirements?

All individuals must be at least 18 years or older to participate in our volunteer program. We ask that volunteers in any area volunteer an average of six hours a month during a one-year period to maintain your active status. If you are not able to meet six hours per month, please email the volunteer manager at volunteer.coordinator@saveapetil.org. We also require that volunteers abide by our Terms & Conditions found in the volunteer questionnaire, and follow all safety direction provided to them by staff.

Can my child volunteer at Save-A-Pet?

While we are not able to have children and teens volunteer in the shelter, there are several other ways they can help the animals. Email Teri at Volunteer.coordinator@saveapetil.org for more information.
