When you join WCHS as a volunteer you will become part of a team working to make our community a safer and more humane place for all living creatures. Each time you leave the shelter you will be rewarded in knowing that you’ve created one more wagging tail, a purr and a smile.

Whether it is to gain school credit, earn a troop badge or just out of the goodness of your heart, volunteering at WCHS is a beneficial way to donate your time and talents. When you volunteer you meet new friends (both human and animal), discover skills you never knew you had and make a difference in your community.

A.S.P. is for students 14-17 years old looking to get experience in the animal care field. The program offers students the opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day care of WCHS’s adoptable shelter animals. Volunteer applicants should be comfortable working with all types of animals and have a willingness to learn. Responsibilities include: scooping litter boxes, cleaning cat cages, kennel touch-ups, giving potty breaks for adoptable dogs, dishes, laundry, garbage/recycling duty, and general shelter upkeep. Students commit to one day per week for 1.5-2 hours each shift. Students typically work with another student as a team and must work well in this type of setting.

If you enjoy both kids and animals than this is the perfect program for you! Volunteers 16 and up can fill out an application and be approved to join our committed team of camp counselors who work with the campers to ensure they have a great week at WCHS. Counselors work with the campers on crafts and assist them during the day. Camp counselors must be able to commit to a full week of camp. The program will run Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Click here to find out more about Romp With The Animals.

Do you love to bake? WCHS has several fundraisers throughout the year and one way we raise money is by selling delicious baked treats! Depending on the fundraiser, bakers are asked to bake 2-5 dozen of their favorite cookies, bars, breads, cakes, or other goodies. Bakers must be able to deliver bakery donations to WCHS or the specified place where the event will be held. This opportunity is a terrific option for families, scout troops and other student organizations. If you are interested in baking for one of our events or bake sales, please email the Volunteer Coordinator and you will receive a separate baker application. You will get an email with the details about bakery needs when an event is coming up.
