To get started at either location please click the GET STARTED button above for your county, and complete the application and sign up for an orientation time. Orientations are held online over Zoom.
Prior to your orientation, you will be sent reminders with the Zoom link.
At orientation, we will cover available volunteer opportunities.
After orientation, you will be able to sign up for volunteer shifts and trainings.

Why Do We Need Volunteers?

Each year Charleston Animal Society helps thousands of animals in need. Volunteers support our mission by helping provide the best care possible for every animal.

Volunteers are a vital part of our everyday operations. They help with:

On-Site:

Walking, socializing and enriching the lives of dogs
Caring for cats and kittens
Assisting in our spay/neuter clinic
Helping with laundry and cleaning

Off-Site

Helping with adoptions and special events
Transporting animals during emergency response efforts

The Basics of Volunteering

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to serve in our main volunteer program. Please visit our Youth Volunteer page for information on opportunities for volunteers under 18.

We do not accept volunteers who are looking to complete court-ordered community service.

Several volunteer positions require role-specific training, which can be scheduled and completed after attending a volunteer orientation.
