Volunteers help by walking dogs, socializing the various types of animals, and supporting fundraising and events.

Volunteers must be 18 or older to volunteer with the animals at the shelter. Opportunities for minors will be shared on our social media as they become available (events, garden cleanup, fundraising). Volunteer orientation happens every 3rd Saturday of the month at 10a.m. at the Trumbull Animal Shelter.

Please follow us on social media for changes and cancellations. If you would like to sign up as a volunteer, please download, review and print/sign the volunteer documents to bring with you to orientation.
