Volunteer Opportunities
There are many ways to help the animals of our community. One of the more
valuable is to volunteer at the animal shelter.
We, the staff, at the City of Berkely animal shelter take great pride in our
work. We strive to see that the animals under our protection have the finest
care possible, and the customers are given courteous and helpful
service. Your help in our endeavor is very much appreciated.
Voluntary hours are flexible, and volunteers can choose to help with most
shelter services, including walking dogs and grooming cats. Occasionally,
the committee of volunteers also organize fund raising activities.
