General Volunteering Information:
We are unable to do short-term volunteering due to the amount of training required to keep everyone safe, so volunteers must serve a minimum of 6 months of service, and are welcome to stay longer, of course!
Volunteers are required to complete a 2-hour weekly shift (some positions have longer shifts) and serve a minimum of 6 months(aside from breaks and vacations). Volunteers who are 13-15 years of age must be accompanied by a legal guardian at all times. Volunteers aged 16 yrs and older may volunteer on their own.
All applicants must pass our screening process, and cannot have a negative history with the Bloomington Animal Shelter, or have a history of any violent, severe, or animal-related offenses. We reserve the right to refuse an individual if we feel it is in the best interest of the Bloomington Animal Shelter and the animals for which we provide care.
