Support Community Pets

Volunteer

PETSinc volunteers are behind everything we do.

Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Whether volunteering for dog walking, cleaning out animal housing, keeping our animals company and socializing, or fostering, our volunteers make it possible for us to accommodate and rescue the large number of animals that we do rescue.

Please be aware that all volunteers must complete a MANDATORY Safety and Animal Handling Class before beginning their volunteer work at a cost of $20. Just submit the completed Volunteer Application below and someone will be in touch with you.

Children may volunteer with supervision of an adult!

Minors between the ages of 10-17 may volunteer under the direct supervision of their parent(s) or guardian(s) after attending the MANDATORY Safety and Handling Class with their parent or guardian at a cost of $20 each. A parent or guardian MUST be present with minors at all times.

Court-Appointed Community Service

PETSinc does accommodate volunteers from the Pre-Trial Intervention Programs, ADP Courts, and Juvenile Justice Systems. Please be aware that all volunteers must complete a MANDATORY Safety and Animal Handling Class before beginning their volunteer work at a cost of $20. Just complete the Court-Appointed Community Service Application below, and someone will be in touch with you.
