Parma Animal Shelter Volunteers

The volunteers at the Parma Animal Shelter are a loving, caring, and compassionate group of people who are dedicated to upholding the mission and vision of the shelter. And, they make sure our furry friends have whatever they need to make their stay at the shelter as comfortable as possible until they find their forever homes. Read on to learn about our volunteer opportunities. We hope that you’ll consider becoming a Parma Animal Shelter volunteer!

Volunteer Opportunities

Parma Animal Shelter is staffed solely by volunteers. We have no paid positions.  We have over 200 dedicated in-house volunteers, who staff our morning and late afternoon shifts. We care for our animals 365 days a year.  We also have a staff that works on fundraising, grant writing, Humane Education and other events held off-site.

Can you join us and make a commitment to our animals so we can facilitate finding them their forever homes?
