Volunteering at the Chula Vista Animal Services:
Join our team and make a real difference in the lives of our furry friends! Volunteers are essential in keeping animals healthy, happy, and ready for adoption. Whether you're walking dogs, socializing pups, caring for kittens as a 'kitten nanny,' or assisting with general maintenance, your time and effort will have a lasting impact.
We invite you to join us! If you're at least 15.5 years old and not required to complete court-ordered service, we’d love to have you on board.
We’re always looking to expand our group of volunteers with animal lovers just like you. If you're passionate about animals and want to be part of a dedicated team, come help us make a difference today!
