Volunteers are the heart of our organization and an essential part of our Lifesaving Mission!
Interested in volunteering hands-on at the shelter with the animals? The animals love visitors, and we would love to have you help us make their stay happy and comfortable while they await adoption.
There are many volunteer opportunities available at OAHS, whether you want to help by working hands-on with the animals, volunteering at outreach events, or even just by dropping off a donation bank at a local business!
To begin, please complete a Volunteer Application (age 16+) or Family Volunteer Application (parent/guardian with child age 12+)
If you would prefer to complete the application as a Word doc or PDF, please download below and email to joe@oahs.org or drop off at the shelter; you may also complete volunteer applications in person at the shelter.
