Level 1- Companion Animal Volunteer Positions

All volunteers start at Level I and remain at this level for five weeks. The Level I phase allows volunteers time to become comfortable with our facility and staff while assisting with various administrative, cleaning and maintenance duties.  Level I positions include the following:

WHS Shelter Crew
Handy, energetic people are needed to give the shelter its shine! Be the star behind the scenes by assisting with cleaning and maintenance duties in our Guest Lodging area. As you can imagine, much goes on to keep our facility up and running! We could not do it without the help of our volunteers. In this position, you will be helping with laundry (washing, drying, and folding), mopping hallways, maintaining our Doggie Day Spa, and preparing enrichment toys for our dogs.

Office Hopper
Our Office Hopper volunteers help WHS staff with a variety of office projects! Volunteer opportunities include filing, word processing, mailings, record keeping, and photocopying. Volunteers may also assemble adoption materials that are given to clients who adopt! This position offers a flexible schedule.

Again, all Level I opportunities are a 5-week minimum duration. With further training and expertise, volunteers may progress to Level II.

If you are interested in one of these positions, please fill out a volunteer application.
