Volunteer at the Everett Animal Shelter!

Save to Favorites

The Everett Animal Shelter is in need of new regular volunteers! We take in and care for animals from 16 different jurisdictions and care for over 5000 animals a year. There is no shortage of need for help or ways you can help. Attending a Volunteer Orientation is the first stop for new Everett Animal Shelter volunteers. During orientation attendees will learn about the shelter and the volunteer program, and then you're ready for your first shifts. Most shifts require little to no prior experience and we will do all of the training on-site!

The most common shifts/positions people come in for are:

-Dog Walking (Morning and Afternoon Crews)
-Feline Care (Socializing the cats, spot cleaning cat areas)
-Back of the House (Dishes, laundry, organizing, etc.)
-Kennel Assistant (Helping with cleaning kennels while dogs are out on walks)
-Customer Service (Checking voicemails, greeting people at the door, assisting front desk staff)
-Vet Assistant (Helping the vets we have on site daily) *Note: Requires Previous Vet tech Experience*
-Kennel Cleaning (Helping the AM staff clean the kennels first thing in the morning)
-Fostering (Actually taking animals home and caring for them at your own home)
-So much more!

We are also looking to quickly expand the options, positions, and ways people can help in the very near future so if there is a different way you want to contribute and help the animals in our care, don't hesitate to let us know what skills you have!
