become a volunteer

The Animal Refuge League relies on volunteers to help fulfill our mission of providing care to stray, abandoned and surrendered animals. Volunteers are involved with many aspects of our shelter's operations and contribute greatly towards improving an experience of our guests and easing their transition into a new home.

requirements

Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older, or 13 years of age if accompanied by a parent or guardian. For ways that children under 13 can get involved, please e-mail us @ trobinson@arlgp.org. All volunteers must be covered by their own health insurance.

We ask that interested individuals be willing to commit to a minimum of two hours per week for a six-month time period.

community service

Mandated community service is a great way to get people involved in giving back to the community. The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland welcomes individuals seeking to do community service for school requirements or for certain individuals over 18 in need of court mandated community service (call for details). Placement for less than 35 hours of service is limited to a general shelter care position (no direct animal care is available). If interested, please submit a community service application. If you have questions please call 854-9771 ext 109, or e-mail us at trobinson@arlgp.org.

Veronica Hernandez-Conger

Veronica's humanity for all the Small Animals at the Animal Refuge League has helped pave the path for prominence and education. No creature is too miniscule to be undeserving of her love, as stated by her years of animal rescue both in her home country and now here in Maine, where she has fostered many of our little critters and adopted a multitude of furry friends of her own.

Although, she's not a morning person, she makes up for it with her faithfulness. Her dedication not only encompasses all things furry and feathered, but extends to the well-being of their caretakers as well. Whether we need her for socializing, vet runs, or cleaning, Veronica, allows herself to be a major tool in the humanitarian efforts for the Small Animals and for that we are forever grateful! Thank you, V, for everything you do!
