Become A Volunteer

As a volunteer-driven organization, we are always interested in welcoming new volunteers and their pets.  Your pet must be gentle with people of all ages, have an even temperament, and be up to date on the required vaccinations.

Pets on Wheels volunteers must be at least 18 years old.  Minor children may volunteer only in conjunction with an adult volunteer and children are not able to handle a pet within the facility.

If you have a loving pet and would like to spend time visiting people in a nursing home or assisted living environment, simply download the volunteer application and pet health certificate, then mail or fax the completed forms to our address.  Upon receipt, we will set up a time to interview you and your pet, then work to place you in a facility within your community.

Benefits Of Volunteering
  • Spend more time with your pet while both of you make new friends.

  • Helps build stronger relationships with people in your own community.

  • Volunteering gives your pet the opportunity to share its unconditional love.  Some volunteers have noticed a positive change in their pets after volunteering.  They have commented that their pet seems much happier because they have a purpose.
