Get Involved

Join our amazing team of volunteers

From hands-on animal care to fostering and community support, our volunteers play a vital role in helping animals find their way home. With opportunities in Marin and the East Bay, we’d love to meet you.

Volunteer with guinea pig
Marin County

Join us for the next Volunteer Orientation on Saturday, January 16, 2027 at 9am at our Novato campus. The orientation lasts about 2-2.5 hours. Due to limited space, pre-registration is required – be sure to save your spot.

East Bay

Help make a difference at our Oakland Hopalong office! Volunteer with our feline care team, foster an animal, assist with transport, or support adoption events.

Good to Know:

  • Please review volunteer roles and FAQs before applying.
    This helps ensure a great match for you and for the animals.

  • Time commitment matters.
    Most roles ask for 2–4 hours per week and a minimum one-year commitment, so animals can count on consistency.

  • Volunteers must be 18 years or older.
    Under 18? Our student service clubs and youth programs may be a better fit.

  • A $30 volunteer materials fee is requested.
    This helps cover training and program costs and can be waived upon request.
