Do You Want to Help the Animals?

The Salt Lake County Animal Services Volunteer Program exists to support and enhance the goals of our shelter:

Serve our customers
Reunite lost pets with their owners
Increase the number of licensed pets in our jurisdictions
Increase the number of shelter adoptions
Ensure that people who adopt pets from our shelter are happy with their adoptions
Keep our shelter animals healthy, clean, safe and happy
Encourage responsible pet ownership which includes licensing, spaying/neutering, and understanding the relevant local ordinances

Volunteers Needed
