Pets to Go

Volunteers

Without our dedicated group of volunteers, Pets to Go could not provide such outstanding care for animals.  Pets to Go volunteers are involved in almost all aspects of the shelter –providing hands on care to the shelter animals, keeping the shelter clean, participating in events and fund-raisers, and even fostering animals in their own homes.

Our volunteer program lets individuals or groups get involved according to their own interests and talents.  The Junior Volunteer program is for teens aged 13 to 15 and the Adult Volunteer program is for ages 16 and older.  Both offer an opportunity to work on behalf of the shelter’s animals and to make a positive impact on Springfield. Through our Kids’ Programs, children 9 to 12 can also help our animals.
