Become a Volunteer
...and change an animal's life!
Why should I volunteer ?
1. You are making a difference
As an animal shelter volunteer, your primary goal is to help make the
animal adoptable. This involves feeding the animals so they can be a
healthy weight, bathing and grooming them and helping abused or stray
animals become accustomed to human interaction. All these tasks help the
animal find a happy home and better life filled will love.
2. Boost your mood and reduce stress
Naturally, volunteering produces good feelings about serving someone in
need. Volunteering at a shelter has the added benefit of being around
animals, which has shown to lower stress and blood pressure. Cuddling
and petting animals also help boost your serotonin and dopamine levels,
which in turn helps you relax and feel happy.
3. There is a big need for volunteers
Animal shelters can’t function without the help from volunteers. There
are so many animals constantly being brought in and lots of tasks need
to be done. Volunteering a couple of hours of your time every week can
help give animals another chance.
