VOLUNTEERING AT SMAS

Are you interested in helping homeless animals? Do you like to walk dogs, cuddle cats, or bathe puppies? Looking to lend a hand at one of our fundraisers? If you are looking for a truly rewarding volunteer experience that will make you and some very deserving pets feel good, then we have just the opportunity you've been looking for- become a volunteer at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter.

BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING

​​

  • You will discover skills you never knew you had, and may even be surprised what you are capable of achieving.

  • You will make the jobs of the shelter employees easier by lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership.

  • Feel warm and fuzzy!  You will never find a more grateful and accepting friend than an animal you have comforted.

  • Keep good company.  You will make new friends, and not just the four-legged kind.  Working side by side with other animal lovers can forge lifelong friendships.

  • You will have the satisfaction of knowing that an animal that you loved and cared for has found a forever home.

VOLUNTEERING GUIDELINES

  • You must be 18 years or older to volunteer. Volunteers under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult over 18 years old. For liability purposes, we cannot make exceptions to this rule.

 

  • Regular volunteers must fill out an  application and waiver form prior to volunteering. The form must be signed by a parent for any volunteer under the age of 18. One-time volunteers must sign in prior to volunteering. For your convenience, a volunteer application is available for you to download and bring out to the shelter with you the first time you volunteer. You can also fill out an online application.
