Volunteer with animals

We are a division of the Stillwater Police Department. Our 4 primary goals are Adoption, Education, Reunification, and Enforcement. We have dogs and cats available for adoption that need socialized and walked every day! We do not have any play yards for the dogs, so we really rely on volunteers to help us get them outside for exercise! 

We are ALWAYS accepting new volunteers. You do not have to sign up beforehand to come out, just stop by. We are open Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm and can accept volunteers whenever we are open. You can volunteer for 10 minutes or 2 hours, whatever works best for your schedule. You must be over 18 years old and bring your state-issued ID the first time you stop by. We will have you fill out a volunteer waiver, go over rules, and give you a tour of the shelter. We recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and closed toed shoes.

Our volunteer work includes:

-Walking dogs

-Socializing cats

-Taking pictures or videos of adoptable animals for social media

-Light cleaning (refilling water bowls, folding laundry, poop scooping in kennels)

Our shelter shares our property with the Humane Society. If you want to volunteer at ANIMAL WELFARE, make sure you enter the building through the glass door that says ANIMAL WELFARE. You can park out front of the shelter or in the field located on the north side of the building.

Check our Facebook for a list of needs, what animals we have for adoption, or if we are going to be closed. We are closed for all city-observed holidays.
