Volunteering at your local animal shelter is a meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals in your community. Currently we have a variety of volunteer positions available to help improve the lives of over 13,000 animals a year. If you would like to help homeless animals in our community this is what you need to do:

MADACC has several volunteer opportunities available. Our volunteer program is based on a level system. All volunteers start at level 1. Level 1 volunteers assist the Animal Care Technicians by maintaining a clean and sanitary environment for the animals. All volunteers must complete 8 hours of Level 1 volunteer duty before transitioning into a level 2 position. Level 1 gives you the opportunity to get familiar with MADACC, our policies, staff and building. Starting out here helps you transition smoothly into the level 2 positions.

After completing the Level 1 phase, volunteers may train for Level 2 positions. These positions include dog walker, spay/neuter assistant, veterinary care assistant, foster care or special event volunteer. Level 3 volunteer positions are available for our most experienced volunteers. These Level 3 volunteers help train new volunteers in the various volunteer disciplines.

If you have any questions about the volunteer program, please email kwilken@madacc.com.
