Volunteers are an integral part of day-to-day operations. We could not do all that we do without your help! Because the well being of animals is at stake—volunteering is a responsibility requiring serious commitment.
Here are a few of the volunteer opportunities we have available:
Work at Furburbia
Application
Volunteer Waiver

Dog Walker/Behavior Trainer
Our adoptable dogs and puppies need time outside the kennels, especially if they’re house trained! Sign up to walk, play with, and even teach basic commands to our adoptable dogs.
Behavior Trainer
"Properly trained, a man can be a dog's best friend."
—Corey Ford
Bad behavior is the number one reason people relinquish their animals, but it is also the most avoidable. Behavior Trainers will help us teach dogs basic commands to make them more adoptable. If you are interested in volunteering as a Behavior Trainer, please contact Cathy Clark: cathy@friendsofanimals.net
Animal Care Specialist
In addition to walking dogs, volunteers help groom and socialize animals so they can put their best paw forward.
