Give Time. Change Lives.
180 volunteers and 55 foster homes around Spring power everything we do. Whether you have two hours a month or twenty a week, there's a job here with your name on it.
Roles for Every Talent
- Dog walking & playgroups — daily exercise and enrichment
- Cat care & socialization — cuddles are literally the job
- Adoption ambassadors — help visitors find their match
- Clinic assistants — check-in, recovery monitoring, laundry brigades
- Events crew — setup, registration, and photo booths
- Behind the scenes — photography, vet-run driving, admin help
- From home — adoption follow-up calls, social media, and grant research, on your own schedule
Volunteers must be 16+ (12+ with a participating adult). After applying you'll be invited to a one-hour orientation, in person or over video, then train directly in the roles you choose.
Court-Ordered & Group Service
We accept community-service placements for non-violent, non-animal-related cases, and we host corporate and club groups of up to 15 — contact our volunteer office to schedule.

Be a Halfway Home
Fosters are the difference between surviving and thriving for bottle-fed kittens, recovering surgery patients, and shy dogs who shut down in kennels.
We supply everything — food, crates, litter, vet care, and a foster coordinator who answers her phone at odd hours. You supply the couch and the love. Assignments range from a weekend "sleepover" to eight weeks for neonatal litters, and you'll never be pressured to extend.
- All supplies and medical care covered by the shelter
- Choose the species, age, and duration that fits your life
- Foster-to-adopt option if you fall in love (it happens a lot)
- Fosters within about a 30-minute drive, so vet runs stay easy
