Volunteer in the Shelter

Our volunteers are an important part of our operations. When pets come to the Clovis Animal Receiving & Care Center, we do everything we can to ensure they become healthy and vibrant pets ready to be sent for adoption at Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center, but volunteers add that special touch that these pets need.

Volunteers are tasked with helping ensure animal enclosures are kept clean and they help with socialization of our pets. If you’re interested in making a difference in a pet’s life, please consider volunteering with us!

All volunteers must go through an application and interview process.

Animal Foster Care Program

Our dedicated animal foster care volunteers are essential to the health and wellbeing of many of the animals that come into our care. We need foster homes for all ages of cats and dogs, but the greatest need is those willing to care for the most vulnerable – our puppies and kittens.

We provide support and resources to our foster volunteers to ensure the best quality of care for the animals, and for the benefit of the foster family.

All foster care volunteers must go through an application and interview process.
