Volunteering at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter will make life brighter for the pets in our care and better for the people and animals in our community.
Application
The first step to becoming a volunteer at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is to complete a volunteer application. Upon completion and submission of the volunteer application, it will be processed and then you will be contacted to discuss any questions you may have.
Orientation
Approved volunteer applicants will be invited to the next orientation on a first-come, first-served basis and based on the organization's needs. The orientation will include an overview of services, programs, and events at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.
Mentorship
Once accepted into the Town of Hempstead Volunteer Program, new volunteers will be assigned a mentor who will train and assist them with volunteer and shelter protocols. All new volunteers must sign the Volunteer Agreement and Code of Ethics and agree to a background check.
If you are interested in volunteering at our shelter, please complete the application and email it to the Volunteer Program or send it by mail.
