Volunteer Positions

We always welcome people who are interested in volunteering at ARK. Your help makes a big difference to our current hard schedule and the welfare of the animals. If you are interested in volunteering or working at ARK, please contact us.

Position: Dog Walker

ARK needs help walking, grooming, and caring for the 240 dogs at the shelter. A walk provides excercise but more importantly it is a chance for the dog to release stress and spend time one-ono-one with a person. Dog trainers welcome!

Position: Cat Socializer

Please give our cats cuddles! The staff often only have time to clean the pen and say a quick hello. The cats need more time with people and to be stroked and groomed. We would love your help!
