volunteer with us
We are so grateful you are interested in joining our volunteer team! Our roles include adoption coordinators, pet pantry coordinators, marketing committee members and veterinary care committee members.
Each adoption is facilitated by our team of kind and compassionate volunteers across Canada.
This is a virtual volunteer role that you can do from the comfort of your home. Our adoption volunteers are responsible for writing the adoptables profiles, interviewing potential adoptees, and guiding the families we help through our adoption process. Each volunteer handles one adoption at a time. While each adoption is unique, it typically takes take 10-12 hours over 2-4 weeks to complete an adoption from start to finish. Must be 18+.
