You Can Make a Difference!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for AARF. Volunteers play a significant role at AARF and we depend on the caring members of our community to help us carry out our mission of saving animals. Volunteering is a meaningful and rewarding experience and we offer training, flexibility, and a wide variety of opportunities to match your interests and skills.

 The volunteer application has a long list of the many and varied opportunities, but a few of the more urgent needs include cat socialization, cat and dog fostering, and cat adoption counseling. If you don’t see what you were thinking about, we love new ideas.

Join our passionate team today by completing the application below. All skill levels are welcome!
