Each year, the Placer County Animal Services Center cares for hundreds of homeless and unwanted animals and we couldn’t do it without our amazing volunteers! Our volunteers provide support for all our programs and services with enthusiasm, dedication, and love. Volunteers help create miracles every day with every job they perform. They help support our shelter and staff, meet the needs of our animals, and serve our community.

If you are interested in joining a positive, wonderful group and give the gift of your time and support, please complete and submit the Placer County Animal Services Volunteer Application.

Volunteering is both rewarding and fulfilling, and it requires commitment as we rely on your help to thrive. There are many ways you can volunteer and be a vital member of our team. Please note that volunteers are required to agree to at least eight hours of volunteer service a month for at least six months and must be over the age of 18.

Thank you for volunteering!
