Southern Pines Animal Shelter

Contact Information:

Description:

• Sheltering lost pets and reuniting them with their owners
• Finding homes for unwanted pets
• Educating the community about the problems of unwanted, neglected and abused animals
• Providing humane care for all animals in our custody

Volunteer Opportunities:

Students may volunteer at the shelter and take part by playing, walking, or bathing the animals (non-aggressive animals only) or depending on time of volunteering, helping with laundry and cleaning. There are also various fund-raising events, etc. that may need extra volunteers.

Requirements:

There is a simple application, shelter hours are Mon., Wed., Thu., Fri. 10-5; Tues. 10-3; Sat. 10-12, and students must schedule volunteer time in advance (as there is a limit to how many can volunteer per day).

Special Notes:

Observe trained staff's interactions with the animals, be observant of policies and rules, etc, and check with staff before trying to do extra stuff (Southern Pines Staff Member)
