Volunteer
We love volunteers! Even one hour a week will help make a difference in the life of a homeless animal. Volunteers must be 16 years old. Here are some of the volunteer opportunities available.
VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION
Before beginning your volunteer journey at ARF, every volunteer is required to attend a brief orientation at the ARF Adoption Center, during which they will be introduced to ARF animals and staff members and given a brief training session on ARF rules and protocols.
Orientation lasts 45-60 minutes and includes a brief tour of the grounds.
