Join Our Volunteer Family
Volunteers are the heart of Bandaged Paws!
Whether you have a few hours a week or want to help with fundraiser events, your time and care make a real difference for the animals in our rescue.
From walking dogs to helping at events, there’s a role for everyone.
How to Become a Volunteer
1. Submit an Application
Start by filling out our online volunteer application, found at the bottom of this page. This helps us learn a bit about you and your interests.
2. Complete Your Enrollment Forms
After your application, you’ll receive an automated email (check your junk mail!) with two forms:
- Volunteer Enrollment Form – required to add you to our scheduling system
- Volunteer Waiver
While the enrollment form may feel similar to the application, it’s necessary to get you fully set up in our system.
3. Access the Volunteer Scheduler
Once your forms are submitted, you’ll receive login details for Volunteer Scheduler Pro. Accessible through a web browser or mobile app, this system lets you manage your schedule anytime, from anywhere.
4. Pick Your Shifts – Your Schedule, Your Way
Book shifts that fit your schedule and you can easily adjust or manage your commitments anytime, giving you the flexibility to volunteer when it works best for you.
Some roles (like dog walking or event support) can be started right away, while others (like animal care) require orientation and training. These opportunities will appear in the scheduler as they become available.
