Volunteering at the Shelter

Make a difference in the lives of animals and your community by volunteering at Athens-Clarke County Animal Services! Our volunteers help support daily shelter operations, assist staff, and create a safe, welcoming environment for animals and visitors alike.

Volunteer roles include:

Office Assistance – answering phones, filing paperwork, and preparing adoption materials
Animal Care Support – helping with dogs, cats, and other shelter animals through socialization, enrichment, and general care
Doggie Day Out - taking our dogs on supervised outings to provide exercise and socialization

No previous experience is required, and training is provided for all positions. Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back, meet fellow animal lovers, and make a real impact on the lives of pets in our community. Whether you have a few hours a week or more, your time makes a difference!

We are unable to accept court-mandated community service at our facility.
