Orange County Animal Services Junior Volunteers

Orange County Animal Services is always welcoming new team members to its booming volunteer program! The program is best suited to individuals who enjoy interacting with both people and pets. Volunteers are key in uniting homeless shelter pets with loving families, which is both exciting and rewarding.

Shelter projects include: Adoption Awareness – Holding pre-made adoption signs in front of the shelter to drive traffic to the shelter. Donation Drive – Host a donation drive to gather supplies for the shelter and its pets.

Volunteers ages 16 and 17 can join the team as “Junior Volunteers” opportunities include:

- Showing available dogs and cats to prospective adopters
- Photographing shelter pets
- Greeting visitors in the front lobby
