Volunteer

Give an hour. Save a life. Share the love.

We need you! From walking dogs and cleaning to helping at special events and adoptions to providing love to all of our homeless pets – volunteers are the core of our Homeless Pets Foundation. You can make a difference by becoming part of our team today!

We do Sunday walks every week with our animals that are housed in the shelter. This is a great opportunity to play/walk animals and also meet other animal lovers. Please inquire if you would like to volunteer during the week or Saturday for dog walking. Must be at least 18 to handle animals.

We invite all ages to join in helping us towards our mission to save the lives of homeless pets! For more information on how anyone under the age of 18 can participate, please visit our FAQ.

Our dedicated volunteers play a vital role in transporting dogs and cats from high-kill shelters across Georgia to our facility. On the front lines, they ensure that each animal is in good condition for transport, providing comfort and care during their journey. Once at our facility, the animals receive the medical attention they need to begin their recovery and find their forever homes. Your support helps us save lives and give these animals a second chance at happiness.

Community Service Hours:

We would love to work with people needing to complete community service hours for work or legal-related issues- please fill out an application for more information.

As a seasoned volunteer, you can participate in our Doggy Day Out program, where you take a dog for a fun, enriching day at a local park or pet-friendly area. Equipped with a bandana or “Adopt Me” vest, these outings not only give the dog much-needed socialization and exercise but also help raise awareness about adoption. It’s a great opportunity to provide enrichment for our pets while giving them a break from the shelter environment, and who knows—you might just help them find their forever home!

Volunteering at our Cat Room at PetSmart gives you the chance to work alongside a community of cat lovers to care for our adoptable kitties. As a volunteer, you’ll help clean, maintain, and create a comfortable environment for the cats, while also providing them with much-needed playtime and socialization. You’ll be assigned a shift and have the opportunity to build relationships with the cats, getting to know their personalities and helping them find their perfect forever homes. It’s a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of our feline friends!

Every Saturday and Sunday, our volunteers take puppies, kittens, dogs and cats to regularly scheduled adoption sites around the Atlanta area. Volunteers help potential adoptive families as they look for the perfect pet to bring home. The more volunteers we have, the more pets we can match with loving homes!
