Think you're too young to make a difference? THINK AGAIN!!

If you're 8 years old or older you can participate in our Junior Volunteer Program. You'll be able to help care for the health & well being of the pets in the shelter & help us find them wonderful new homes.

Love cats?

Do you want to volunteer but the shelter closes before you're done work or school? Get a little overwhelmed by the number of animals at the shelter? Have a limited amount of time to volunteer but still want to make a huge difference in the lives of homeless pets?

Try volunteer at our Petsmart Adoption Center! Volunteer anytime during store hours - much more flexible that the shelters' hours.

Foster caregivers save the lives of orphaned dogs, puppies, cats and kittens as well as pets who are recovering from illness or injury and need extra TLC to heal and become ready for adoption. Fosters provide a safe and loving temporary home while SJRAS provides the support, supplies and medical care.

Give them a lift!! Volunteer with our transport program by providing rides to dogs and cats needing to get to our rescue partners or vet appointments.

Transports may be local or could be hours away. Each time a transportation need arises we'll contact our transporters list with the details about what we need help with & from there you can decide which transports you'll assist with and which you'll leave up to other volunteers.

Be a valuable member of an expanding team! Our TNVR volunteers assist property owners with trapping cats who are living on their properties. Those cats are then transported to vet offices to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated before being returned to the original property where they can live out their remaining life without adding to the homeless feline population.

Don't know much about TNVR but you're up for the adventure? NO PROBLEM! Our team leaders will teach you everything you need to know and have you assist them while you perfect your cat-aptitude. Once you're comfortable with the equipment and process you'll be able to take on as much or as little challenge as you'd like. (for more info about TNVR itself you can check out our TNVR program page)

Whether you need to complete service hours for a school requirement, a church or other social organization, or to fulfill a court sentence you can use those hours to help improve the lives of the homeless pets at the shelter. We've got a range of needs you'll be able to assist with, from keeping areas tidy for the visiting public to helping shelter staff perform stocking duties we'll make sure your time here directly benefits the pets.
