Volunteer: Community Service or Court-Mandated Volunteer ServiceCommunity Service or Court-Mandated Volunteer Service:
If you are required to do Community Service or Restitution, DO NOT complete a Volunteer Application. There is no application for community service and you do not need to schedule your hours in advance. However, we must receive a copy of your Community Service paperwork, usually from the Probation Department, before you can begin any hours. That paperwork can either be faxed to us at 812-349-3440 or you can bring it with you on your first visit and speak to an Administrative Assistant. We do not accept everyone, and cannot accept those with any violent offenses or offenses against animals. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8-4pm. As long as we have your paperwork, you can come to the Shelter any time during those hours and check-in at the front desk to log your hours and receive an assignment. Please contact the Front Desk directly with any questions: 812-349-3492.

Volunteer: Foster Animals through the ShelterIt has never been easier to help us save lives. In 2024, foster families took 56% of the animals that came through our shelter into their homes. Our foster team provided socialization, training, love and consistency to well over 1,800 animals in our community. Help us make that number even bigger! Fostering is important because it helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens up space for another animal to be saved. It also helps prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality, work to overcome fears, or recover from trauma. Join the Animal Shelter’s foster network now by completing the online application, orientation, and quiz! You will then be added to the foster opportunity update list. You then choose when to raise your hand if and when you are ready to take on a new foster …or two. This is a family-friendly opportunity!
