Volunteer

At this time we do not have a physical location. All of our animals are in foster homes. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Ages 13-17 may volunteer if accompanied by a guardian at all times.

• Chance Shelter does not accept volunteers needing to fulfill court-appointed community service.

Steps to Becoming a Volunteer:

We are extremely grateful to perspective volunteers but are unable to accept every applicant. In order to assist us with matching prospective volunteers with our needs, we ask everyone who is interested in volunteering to fill out a Volunteer Application and answer all questions (being as specific as possible where applicable). If your skills, experience, interests, and availability meet our needs at this time, we will contact you about how to get started. You will hear from us, either way. Training will be required, based on your area of interest.

Areas of Chance Shelter Volunteer Opportunities:

Below are the major volunteer opportunities that we are recruiting for at this time.

Animal Transport: Transporting animals to their vet appointments, acquiring necessary paperwork, and delivering the paperwork to the adoption counselor. You may also be asked to locally transport an animal to and from the care of Chance Shelter.

Grief Counselors: Assist families before, during, and after the death of their family pet.

Marketing: Fundraising, community events, networking, petition for donations, distributing flyers, and working at fundraising events.

Education Assistance: Assist our Education Director with class presentation and preparation at various locations (schools, libraries)

Administration Assistant: Assist the Board of Directors with the miscellaneous jobs of running a non-profit. This could be anything from making phone calls, paperwork, local errands, and making copies.

Please note that all volunteer positions are not available at all times.
