For Youth volunteers:

Under the age of 16, a parent or guardian must volunteer with you and fill out all required paperwork for themselves as well as their child. 
Under the age of 14, we are currently not accepting any volunteers under this age. Any youth wishing to volunteer who do not meet age requirements are advised to consider a donation drive or project that will benefit our shelter animals. 

Court Appointed: 

For community service volunteers, an interview must be scheduled with the Volunteer Coordinator by calling 302-943-6032 ext 120, prior to being accepted and starting any training. In addition, a copy of Court issued paperwork must accompany this volunteer application or be provided at the interview. Failure to follow procedure will delay your process.
