Dog Walking

Guaranteed to keep you and the dogs healthy and happy! Every dog deserves a nice walk outside every day. The Delta Animal Shelter volunteers take the dogs out for strolls around the property throughout the day. This is also a great time to reinforce good manners and teach your canine walking partner life skills – like walking politely on a leash, sit, etc. Volunteers are asked to commit to one scheduled shift per week.

Lend Your Professional Skills

We can always use administrative and communications help, even if only for a couple of hours. Skilled maintenance and construction workers who can help out with our property or the homes of our families are some of our most precious commodities. Sometimes, cleaning help can be just the mental space a mom needs to begin believing she can do it. If you can teach about the Bible, financial management, home maintenance, health and wellness or another topic that would serve our families, we’d love to have you join us.

Off-Site Adoption Event Volunteers

We need volunteers to help with adoption events held at various locations throughout the area. This involves picking animals up from the shelter and taking them to the location, holding or walking the animals while introducing them to potential adopters, and bringing the animals back to the shelter at the end of the event. We really need more volunteers to help to this in our community.

Foster Care Parents

Are you willing and able to open your heart and home to temporarily care for the needs of puppies, kittens, cats, dogs or other critters? Foster care is a vital part of the shelter’s ability to care for animals who need just a bit more time or special attention before they are ready to go to a new home. Foster care can vary from a few days to several weeks.

Adoption Hosts

Adoption Hosts are key in the shelter, truly bringing pets and people together. We are looking for volunteers to showcase and care for the animals in our shelter! By becoming an Adoption Host, you are giving these wonderful pets an opportunity to be noticed by potential families. Hosts will:

greet visitors;

answer basic questions about animals;

show animals to potential adopters; and

care for animals’ needs such as refilling food and water dishes, washing soiled dishes and spot cleaning.
