We welcome volunteers!
Without volunteers the Animal Adoption Center could not exist. They are the backbone of this organization. We understand most people have busy, full lives, and have modeled our volunteer program around this. You can volunteer as much or as little as you'd like - we have volunteers who help daily, weekly and only for special events. We would like volunteers to do what it is they enjoy to the best of their abilities.

Volunteer programs include: Kitty City care, dog walking, foster care, animal shuttling and special events, as well as media, fundraising and computer assistance. Volunteers in all capacities play a crucial role in caring for, learning about and then getting our homeless animals adopted into qualified, loving homes.

You can make a difference in the life of an abandoned animal. At the Adoption Center we welcome and appreciate your participation! Below is an overview of some of our volunteer possibilities. For more information and to sign up, please stop by and see us at 175 North Glenwood St.

Kitty City Care
Volunteers clean cat apartments, feed, water, groom and play with the lovable cats. Volunteers report their observations on the cats' temperaments and health.

Dog Walking
The dogs at the Center receive daily walks in their "Adopt Me" vests in order to be seen around own and on the trails. Walks with volunteers are an opportunity for the dogs to be socialized, exercised and to receive training.

Foster Care
Foster families care for the dogs waiting adoption when the center is not open. Foster families also transport the dogs to and from the Center so the public may meet them during the Center's hours of operation. Foster homes allow the dogs to learn to be comfortable in homes and enables us to learn about the animals' individual personalities. An overnight bag is provided for each dog with everything needed to care for our orphans.

Media Campaign
Community members can help with radio advertising, newspaper ads, and television commercials. Volunteers can even star in commercials, and local businesses can sponsor ads.

Office Assistance
Volunteers can help with the many tasks around the office necessary to keep the Center running smoothly.

Drivers
We welcome volunteer drivers to pick up animals from regional shelters.

Fundraising Committee
The newest way for adults to get involved is to join the AAC fundraising committee. We recognize that many of the people in this community who care greatly about this organization have creative ideas and resources that can help the AAC continue to achieve its goals. The group will meet once a week to brainstorm fundraising ideas, plan projects, and assign responsibilities.

The Kids Volunteer Program
Beginning May 2006, the youth volunteer program coordinates youth ages 12-17 interested in animals, the Center, and its mission. Meeting twice weekly, kids can sign up for a variety of activities, and learn about animal rescue and the responsiblities of pet ownership while helping the Center with projects.
