Volunteering at Save The Animals Foundation

At STAF, volunteers are the shelter. Every day, compassionate people like you show up to clean, feed, cuddle, walk, train, medicate, plan, and advocate for the cats and dogs in our care. Whether you’re looking to connect with animals, give back to the community, or meet other like-minded, animal loving people, there’s a role for you here.

Why Volunteer at STAF?

Volunteering at STAF is more than a good deed, it’s a lifeline for animals in need and a meaningful experience for you. Our volunteers keep STAF going and enable us to achieve our Mission.

For the Animals

  • You provide food, safety, enrichment, and love
  • You help them heal, socialize, and get ready for adoption
  • You give them consistency and care, every single day

For Yourself

  • You connect with a community of animal lovers
  • You gain hands-on experience and purpose
  • You leave every shift knowing you made a difference

Volunteer Opportunities

There are many ways to make a difference at STAF, and a role for just about everyone. All volunteers start in animal care as a Cat Volunteer or Dog Volunteer, but as you gain experience, you may explore other areas like medical care, fostering, events, fundraising, maintenance, or social media. Whether you’re hands-on with the animals or helping behind the scenes, your time and talents are always needed.
