How You Can Help

Volunteer

Change an Animal's Life

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION:

 

Our volunteers are very important to Portage APL. From foster parents and dog walkers to board members and event committees, they make our operation run and would not be able to function well without them.

If you would like to volunteer with the APL, please visit us at the shelter to fill out a volunteer application and other paperwork. We will need a copy of your photo ID as well. Once that is done, you will contact the appropriate person to set up a training for which area of interest you would like to serve. You must be at least 16 years of age and children under 16 may not volunteer with their parent for the safety of the child. Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

We do not honor community service or school service hours. We need our volunteers to commit to a consistent schedule, whatever that may be, for the animals.
