We Need Your Help!

Volunteer opportunities vary based on the number of animals in the care of the Pound.  Contact us to find out current volunteer opportunities. 

 Individual volunteers must be 16 or older, children 11-15 must volunteer alongside a parent or guardian.  Any time different from what is listed will need to be coordinated with the Lexington Animal Control Officer or with one of the long-term Adopt A Pound Pal volunteers for supervision purposes.  

If you aren't able to physically volunteer at the Pound, you can still be an important part of the work we do.  Volunteers are needed to:

• Foster cats and dogs
• Fundraise and plan events to benefit Adopt A Pound Pal
• Maintain this website
• Promote Adopt A Pound Pal (helping with exhibits/booths)
• Provide photography for adoptable pets and promotional purposes
• Transport animals to vet care, spay/neuter clinics, or transfer to rescue
• Trap feral cats for spay/neuter and return to the pickup location

Let us know if you have a special skill or talent you're willing to share with us!
