Volunteers are a vital part of Furry Friends!  

We simply can't do what we do without our volunteer team members.  Our animals and organization welcome and appreciate the donation of your valuable time and talent to help our dogs and cats while they await their forever homes.

As a Furry Friends volunteer, you may participate with our organization in so many ways:

• Bring a Furry Friend to adoption and special events (e.g. community events, collection drives, fundraisers, etc.)
• Walk dogs, interact with cats, assist our adoption desk and help us put our best face forward to visitors at both our Jupiter Adoption Center and Palm City Ranch.
• Accept donations, organize merchandise, provide customer service and more at our Thrift Boutique
  

Orientations are held twice each month. To become a Furry Friends Volunteer, please select either the Adult (18+) or Teen (14-17) volunteer application button below.
