Volunteer for CAP

PDF | Print | E-mail

Each year, many dedicated volunteers donate their time, talents and efforts to help our shelter animals. Their willing hands and caring attitudes can calm anxious dogs and cats when they first arrive at our shelter, guide worried families as they look for lost pets, foster animals needing special care, wait on customers in our Happy Tails Pet Supply Shop or CAP Thrift Store and help with special events.

Currently, the adult and youth volunteer programs are full. When we are again recruiting volunteers, we will send you a volunteer application. Please indicate your interest in volunteering in an e-mail.

CAP welcomes teens and preteens as a vital part of our volunteer corps. Youth, ages 12 through 15 years of age, must have a parent or legal guardian attend the orientation/ training with the youth and also, volunteer with them at all times. Youth, ages 16 through 20 years old, may volunteer without parental supervision, but a parent or legal guardian must sign a legal release.
