Volunteers are an integral part of our organization and help improve the quality of life for the animals in our care, and play a crucial role in the rest of the life of these shelter pets. We have so many opportunities available, apply to become a volunteer HERE!
Persons interested in volunteering for the Macomb County Animal Control should complete a volunteer application found HERE.
Those applying to volunteer will be subject to a background check. Once an approved background check has been received, the applicant will be contacted and required to attend a volunteer orientation session. This will enable the volunteer to become familiar with the policies and procedures associated with the care and maintenance of the animals and facility and ensure your safety around the animals. All volunteers will be required to read and sign the appropriate waivers of liability and release forms.
A volunteer must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.
At this time we do not have any volunteer or community services programs dedicated to those that are under eighteen (18) years of age.
Once a volunteer completes orientation, they are welcome to come in during our regular business hours. When volunteers have reached a level of comfort with our environment, they are welcomed on weekends and holidays.
We need volunteers for just about everything we do, but our current biggest needs are:
- Adoption Counselors
- Dog Walkers
- Enrichment Program
- Feline Friends
- Greeters
- Helpful Hands
- Photographers
We accept court-ordered community service on an individual basis. Persons seeking hours for court-ordered community service must disclose the nature of the offense and provide a copy of their court order prior to being approved. We reserve the right to determine if an individual may complete service hours with our organization. Click here to request community service hours.
