We need your help. Volunteers are needed to assist us with our various programs. We specifically need volunteers to work in the AHA Thrift Store, on the Farm, and with special programs.

Send us your name and address by mail or e-mail, indicate your interests or special skills, and if you have had any experience volunteering. In addition, provide us with your phone number and the best time to reach you. Our volunteer coordinator will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

How You Can Help

Animal Haven of Asheville depends on the selfless assistance of volunteers to keep our facility in operation. The love, compassion and concern for those helpless animals who have found themselves at the mercy of those very humans who were supposed to nurture and protect them and who were then betrayed, manifests itself in the many hours donated by our volunteers.

Volunteers perform a variety of tasks and in varying amounts of time. Depending on circumstances, volunteers may opt for a scheduled commitment of hours helping out or they may prefer to provide service as their schedules permit. In either case, the hours contributed are sorely needed and are greatly appreciated.
