Help Behind the Scenes – Volunteer Shelter Helper Needed!
Not every hero wears a cape — some carry laundry baskets and dish soap!
At Mobile County Animal Shelter, keeping things clean and organized is essential for the health and comfort of our animals. We’re looking for dependable volunteers to help keep our shelter running smoothly.
What’s a Shelter Helper?
Shelter Helpers are the backbone of our daily operations. By tackling tasks like laundry, dishes, and general tidying, you free up staff to focus on animal care — and you make the shelter a cleaner, more comfortable place for our furry friends.
What You’ll Do:
-
Wash and dry animal bedding, towels, and blankets
-
Wash and sanitize food/water bowls and toys
-
Sweep, mop, and tidy common areas as needed
-
Restock supplies and keep workspaces organized
-
Pitch in wherever a helping hand is needed
Qualifications:
-
Comfortable working around dogs and cats but not necessarily with them (if you don't want to)
-
Willing to get a little messy (laundry and dishes can be a splash zone!)
-
Able to lift light to moderate loads of laundry and supplies
-
Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently or with a team
-
Flexible with tasks — needs can change daily
Why It Matters:
Clean bedding, fresh bowls, and tidy spaces help our animals stay healthy, happy, and ready to meet their forever families. Every load of laundry or washed dish is a step toward adoption day!
