Become A Volunteer    Current Volunteers


Feed your soul with snuggles. 

Helping homeless pets is just as rewarding for you as it is for them. Maybe more. For every walk, you get unbridled tail wags. For every clean bed, eyes filled with gratitude. For every meal, a happy head bump.  

Volunteer today and help us continue to save lives and expand services for these incredible animals. It takes a village to fulfill the mission of a No Kill Chicago. We couldn’t do this without you.
