Our volunteers are indispensable. These dedicated community members come from all walks of life to donate thousands of hours of their time in virtually every department of the shelter, extending the capacity for our paid staff to help thousands of animals and the people of San Mateo County. Some are here 2 or 3 days per week, while others come in one afternoon. All levels of commitment are greatly appreciated. Aside from offering an opportunity for important work you will help us provide lifesaving services and meaningful programs. If you love animals and like working with people, consider volunteering in our award winning program. You can read about the different volunteer positions. Unless otherwise noted, volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and the positions require a commitment of 2-3 hours per week for one year. If you are 13-17 years of age and want to volunteer, please see junior volunteer positions. We are unable to accept volunteers under the age of 13.
To become a volunteer, simply complete a Volunteer Application. and choose your orientation date. Space is limited, so please choose only one date that is convenient for you. If you would like to attend an orientation date that is already full, you can come to that orientation and try for a Drop-In seat. If we have space available due to no-shows or cancellations, you are welcome to stay. If there's no room, you will have to leave and try for another date.
Once you become a volunteer, you'll be asked to purchase a "Volunteer Pack" that includes a short-sleeve volunteer t-shirt, lanyard and combination RF access keycard and identification badge. The cost of the pack is $25 plus tax.
