Volunteers are the backbone of our shelter! With such a high volume of animals, our staff relies on volunteers to help us complete all the tasks required for a smooth operation here at Sterling Animal Shelter.
Volunteering will enrich your life in a number of ways, here are some of our favorite reasons why you should come volunteer with us today:
Be part of the solution. You’ll join a network of hundreds of thousands of people working to make the world safe and more humane for all living creatures. You’ll make the jobs of everyone working for animals a little easier by lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership.
Get warm fuzzies. You’ll never find a more grateful and accepting comrade than an animal you have helped. Is there anything better than unconditional love?!
Keep good company. You’ll make lots of new friends--and not just the four-legged kind. Working side by side with people who share similar interests can forge lifelong friendships.
Meet the new you. You’ll discover skills you never knew you had, and you may be surprised at what you’re capable of achieving.
Gain a new career. You’ll learn things that may lead you to the career--or career change--of your dreams. Employers and college admissions officers look favorably on time spent in volunteer service.
Enjoy a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile. Didn’t someone once say that the best things in life are free?
Interested? Great! All volunteers must be AT LEAST 17 years of age to volunteer.
