About Volunteering

Orange County Animal Services is looking for volunteers available Monday through Friday to join our team! If you are highly motivated, love animals, and want to volunteer at the Orange County Animal Services, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator. There are many opportunities to help the animals including the jobs listed below. If you have a special interest, just let us know!

We love our Adult volunteers and we also have a Youth program for ages 15-17 and a Family volunteer program for ages 12-14 volunteering with one of your Parents.

Volunteering is fun, rewarding, and saves lives! Register for our next volunteer orientation today.
