Volunteer FAQ
How do I volunteer?
Please fill out the form at the Main Volunteer Page.
What is the minimum age to volunteer?
We accept volunteers of all ages (parents must accompany any volunteers under the age of 18). Due to liability, volunteers must be at least 18 years old to handle our pets.
What can I do if I am under 18 years old?
At adoption sites, you can hold signs & donation jars, hand out brochures, and sell items that benefit HPF. There are plenty of other ways you can help us outside of adoption sites as well:
Sponsor a Homeless Pet
Select one of our Homeless Pets to promote and raise money to help get them adopted. You can post flyers for them online and around your community, share them with friends and family, and raise donations for them to help cover their cost of care.
Wish List
HPF is always in need of supplies, you can start your own wish list drive for HPF with your school, friends, or community. Please find our wish list here
Social Media
We would love for you to come to our volunteer events to take photos and videos for us to upload onto our social media pages. Check us out on Instagram and TikTok @homelesspetsfoundation and Facebook at Homeless Pets Foundation.
Adoption & Fundraising Events
Anyone under 18 can volunteer along with a parent or legal guardian to one of our events. We post all signups and information about the events roughly one month out from the scheduled date.
Make Posters
HPF always needs help with promotions! You can help make super colorful signs for our upcoming special events and adoption sites.
Make Snuggly Blankets
Our pets like to snuggle too – so how about helping make them something to snuggle with? These super easy tie-blankets are great for our animals!
