New volunteers are required to make a tax-deductible, non-refundable donation of $40 before attending the volunteer orientation. Are you willing to make this one-time donation?*

Animal Haven relies heavily on the assistance of volunteers. Therefore, all volunteers are required to commit to a standing 2-hour shift each week. If you are unable to make your shift, you must notify us at least 24 hours before (excluding illnesses and family emergencies). Volunteers who miss more than 2 shifts without proper notification may be asked to leave the program. Are you able to fulfill this commitment?*

Yes
No

Please list the names and phone numbers of two personal references:*

In addition to working at the shelter, we often need help in other specialized areas (e.g., publicity, fundraising, etc.). Do you have special skills or training that you'd like us to know about?
