Volunteer: Schedule an Exotics Handling OrientationSometimes, city shelters end up with exotic animals that need a place to stay. These animals might come in for all sorts of reasons, and since they need special care, the shelters have to be ready to handle them. That’s where volunteers come in—they’re crucial for helping out with these unique pets. In this session, we’ll dive into the care of exotic animals at our two different shelters. Over on the Eastside, you'll get to know all about a variety of exotic pets and where they’re kept. We’ll cover things like access codes, what materials you’ll need, and other important details. On the Westside, it’s all about farm animals. We’ll go through how these animals are housed and what you need to know to take care of them. You’ll also get the scoop on security codes and supplies. This session is all about making sure you’re up to speed with everything you need to know for both types of animals.

Volunteer: Foster Breaks & Doggie Day Outs 2025
This New Year, you can make a life-changing difference for the animals at AWD Animal Welfare by giving them the joy of a break from the shelter while they wait for their forever homes. Our pets are looking for caring community members to help them relax, recharge, and shine their brightest for potential adopters — and you can be that helping hand (and heart!). For Foster Opportunities we are looking for compassionate people who can welcome a shelter pet into their home for a short or long stay. You can choose what works best for you: • Slumber Party Weekend: Enjoy a 1–3-nights sleepover and give a pet a fun mini-vacation outside the shelter. • Full Foster Break: If you’re able to open your home a little longer, pets can enjoy a cozy month or longer foster stay. These breaks help animals decompress, show off their true personalities, and enjoy a peaceful home experience surrounded by love — even before they find their forever family. Not Ready to Foster? Try a Doggie Day Out If an overnight visit isn’t the right fit, you can still make a huge impact by taking a dog out for a few hours of fun and freedom. Enjoy activities like: • Taking a dog on a relaxing hike • Hanging out together at a dog-friendly café or brew pub • Bringing them home for a calm afternoon and a comfy nap Doggy Day Outs help our pups experience joy, reduce stress, and give them valuable exposure that helps them get adopted faster. Whether it’s a day, a weekend, or a few weeks, your time means the world to an animal waiting for their forever home. Help us make their New Year a little brighter — and make yours a little warmer in return. Organization: AWD Animal Shelter
