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:

  • 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!
  • Make ‘Adopt Me’ Vest
  • Homeless Pets Club
    Start a Homeless Pets Club at your school to help spread the word about Homeless Pets! Contact our Volunteer Coordinator via email at [email protected] for more information.

-Yes.  Our rescue is not affiliated with any other rescue in Georgia and should you like to volunteer with HPF you must go through our Volunteer Process.

-Yes, we still need your information on file. Our volunteer coordinator will email you to schedule your orientation and training.
