Volunteering
SWCHS relies on our wonderful volunteers to help make sure each pet receives the care they require. Volunteers work alongside our staff and fill many roles. Volunteers allow SWCHS to continue helping an average of 800 pets each year. It is a tremendous help if you are able to commit to at least 4 hours a month for 6 consecutive months. Volunteers must be 18 years or older.
Volunteer applications are currently being accepted for the calendar year of 2024. After the application is reviewed, you will be contacted about the next steps of the process. Thank you for supporting the pets at SWCHS!
