Love animals and want to turn your compassion into action? Join our group of volunteers who help animals who need it most. We offer a wide variety of opportunities to help animals that can work well with your preferences and schedule.

Volunteer Opportunities for Individuals

We offer many meaningful ways for you to show compassion and help save lives — from hands-on volunteering in our adoption centers to speaking up for animals in our community. To help you explore the different ways you can make a difference, watch the series of short videos highlighting opportunities. When you’re ready, complete the application.

Please note: Volunteer opportunities are available across locations, but training is only available at our Atlanta and Marietta locations.

Volunteer Opportunities for Companies

Corporate Service Days help your employees build relationships with their team, establish goodwill within the community, and improve company culture. We welcome all animal lovers who are ready to roll up their sleeves for a morning of philanthropy and fun. Our team will work with you to organize the day(s) and ensure employees are engaged within our program.

Please note: Corporate Service Days are scheduled Monday-Friday, for up to 15 people. They must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance and a donation is required. This contribution provides a volunteer experience at one of our locations as well as an investment in our mission.
