Thank you for your interest in volunteering at CARES K9 Adoption Option!
Running a dog shelter and adoption centre is hard work, and we can always use more helping hands! There are many different areas to aide in, and volunteers at CARES are trained in all areas. Volunteer jobs include, but are not limited to: cleaning/organizing the facility, feeding dogs, bathing/brushing/grooming dogs, basic dog training, supervising outdoor play time, taking photos of the dogs, logging the dogs’ temperament, doing adoption meet and greets, and more!
Volunteers will receive 6 training shifts in order to learn all aspects of CARES K9 Adoption Option. After training is complete, you may pick and choose the shifts you prefer.
Volunteer shifts are 3 hours long and are available 7 days a week. The shifts are as follows:
• 8am – 11am: Cleaning and feeding
• 10am – 1pm: Training and grooming
• 1pm – 4pm: Play groups and social media photos
• 4pm – 7pm: Feeding and adoption meet & greets
