When you become an animal shelter volunteer at The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, you help save the lives of homeless animals in need of a second chance in your community.

Volunteering at The Animal Foundation will give you that warm, fuzzy feeling. The lost dogs, cats, and other abandoned animals that come to us need much more than just food, shelter, and medical care. They need walking, socialization, exercise, mental stimulation, training, and more. From in-shelter support to at-home foster care, volunteers support every facet of our work. No special skills are needed, just compassion, patience, and commitment. We’ll provide whatever training is necessary.
