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
All
volunteers must be covered by their own health
insurance. Volunteers
must be 16 years of age or older, or 13 years
of age if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For kids under 13, please see our kids
section for
ways to help out the animals.
Community
Service
Mandated community service is a great way to get people involved in giving back
to the community. Community Service Hour letters will be sent directly to the
school, or if court ordered, will be sent to the probation officer, lawyer, or
court. We cannot accept issues involving narcotics, theft, violence, or animal
abuse. For court required service, have your lawyer or probation officer send
a
request
of hours and statement of offense to Kathy
Fleming at kfleming@arlgp.org or fax
854-4105. You need to have health insurance.
SPECIAL EVENTS!! Volunteer
If you want to volunteer, but your schedule does
not allow for much time, consider assisting in
special events. You may be helping out at an off
site pet adoption promotion or a fun fundraising
event. Feel free to contact Lynne
McGhee at lmcghee@arlgp.org
or call 854-9771 x102 to inquire. You need to
have health insurance

Our FANTASTIC volunteers
are willing to help in whatever needs to
be done!
Our volunteers help with
laundry & general cleaning, yard work, cleaning
cat and dog cages, socializing with the cats,
dogs, and rabbits - playing, brushing, reading,
and just plain old giving some love, time
and
attention to all our furry guests!
Our volunteers may also help
out with administrative tasks - general or
specific to fund-raising, event planning,
humane education, or accounting.
