• The first step to volunteering at CCAS is to submit an application at through our Give Pulse portal. Once your application is approved, you will be able to view upcoming orientation sessions and select one to attend.  Once you have attended an orientation and completed the Volunteer Agreement and Liability Waiver, you can begin volunteering.

• Volunteer Orientations are scheduled several times throughout each month. If you do not have access to a computer, please call the shelter for further instructions.

• Volunteer hours are scheduled through Give Pulse. Once you have attended orientation, you will have access to our volunteer calendar where you will be able to schedule hours based on your area of interest. 

• You must be 16 years of age to volunteer without a parent or guardian. Volunteers ages 13-15 must be accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian who has also completed orientation.  Children 13-15 can socialize puppies and kittens but are not permitted to walk dogs. 

• All applications go through a background check. We cannot accept any application from a person having a felony record (current or previous) and absolutely no domestic violence, battery, or animal cruelty charges (current or previous) or anyone with a history of disobeying county or state animal ordinances.

• Students MUST complete orientation.

• Orientation does not count towards volunteer hours.
