Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to our success! They help raise general awareness of animal welfare issues and assist staff to carry out the mission of the Iowa City Animal Care & Adoption Center throughout our community. Volunteering at the Center is both educational and fun. Knowing that an animal is benefiting from your generosity and compassion is a very rewarding experience for you and the Center staff.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and should be prepared to donate a minimum of 25 hours to the Animal Care and Adoption Center each calendar year.

Volunteers are required to attend a 30 minute orientation class, complete an application, sign a waiver, pass a background check and attend hands-on training classes.

To sign up for orientation, call or visit the Animal Care and Adoption Center during regular business hours:  Mon - Fri 10:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. and Sat 10:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.  

Temporarily located at:  4852 Sand Road, Iowa City.  319-356-5295.
