VOLUNTEER

WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING COURT ORDERED COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUESTS.
All our volunteers are NOT paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless!

Adult Volunteers

P.A.W.S. of Tinley Park could not exist without the dedicated efforts of our volunteer staff. We depend on them to help with the daily care of our animals. Whether you are a dog person or a cat person we would love to have you on our team!

We require all adult volunteers to be 18 years of age; however, volunteers between the ages of 14 and 17 are eligible for our Junior Program and must have parental consent.

Volunteer duties may include but are not limited to:

• Cleaning cages
• Feeding
• Medicating
• Socializing
• Grooming

Shift Times

Mornings 7:30am – 10:30am (Saturday and Sunday only)
Afternoons 11:30am – 4:00pm
Evenings 6:00pm – 9:00pm

At this time we have many shifts that need assistance. We will only be filling those shifts that need additional volunteers. Shifts will be filled accordingly on the orientation dates listed below.

Orientation

All new volunteers must first attend a Volunteer Orientation session. All orientations will last approximately 2 hours and will include a tour of the shelter. Registration is required for your attendance and space is limited.

There is an orientation fee of $20 per person. The fee includes your orientation manual and a PAWS T-shirt. Payment will be collected at the orientation in the form of cash or credit.
