Do you live near Silver Springs, FL and are over 18? We don’t have any animal care volunteer positions to offer, but we do need help with habitat restoration to improve our properties for the release of animals rehabilitated by others in Florida but can’t go back where they came from.

I was hoping that I could volunteer here and expand my love for animals.

Selena,
If you submit the online application on the ‘part-time local volunteer’ page, you will be signed up to receive emails with available shifts as they are scheduled. There is no waiting list, we just schedule shifts as we can and they are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

I am very interested in volunteering and learning about your animals. I currently work at an equine therapy facility and have previously volunteered at a primate sanctuary for 4 years. I’ve worked with horses, goats, exotic birds, primates (mostly small primates but have done some work with great apes as well), reptiles (alligators and Galapagos tortoises). I’d like to try and expand on species to work with and I wondered if there are available volunteer slots open now or if my application can go into a sort of waiting list. I’d love to be a part of your team!

My husband and I are interested in volenteering. We are retired. Can work any positions. Just moved to silver springs. 5 min from the shelter. Both have worked with domestic animals. Both have carpentry skills. We both also play music and could provide music for fund raisers.

Like Alison, I am an international volunteer and am hoping to offer the helping hands of both my boyfriend and I on our trip to America next year. We are planning to stay in the country for 7+ months, and would love to be a part of your team. We are from the United Kingdom, and therefore hope we can enter your establishment for an extended period of time, I look forward to hearing from you, thank you so much!
Saffron
