Groups and companies can volunteer too.

Bring your business or community organization to PAWS to volunteer.

Hours & Locations

Thank you for your interest in bringing your business or community organization to PAWS to volunteer!

We usually request volunteer groups to help with grounds maintenance tasks such as:

  • Weeding
  • Painting
  • Landscaping
  • Helping with small building projects
  • Spreading bark on our dog walking or wildlife interpretive trails

These projects do not include hands-on contact with the animals in our care, but they are all integral aspects of helping animals in need, allowing staff and long-term volunteers to focus on important daily animal care.

Volunteers who help us with animal care go through extensive training and make a weekly commitment to a volunteer position. To become an animal care volunteer, please view our volunteer opportunities.

 

If your group is interested in volunteering:

  • Your group should consist of at least five people. We can typically accommodate groups of 5-15 volunteers.
  • Please commit to volunteering for least three hours.
  • Remember that most, if not all, volunteer work takes place outside, rain or shine.
  • Please make arrangements at least two weeks in advance of the date you are requesting.
  • Keep in mind that not all dates will be available.

Please note: This PAWS is located in Lynnwood, Washington. If you are looking for a different PAWS, please visit this page for information about other organizations called PAWS.
