Want to help save lives?

Join the Houston Pets Alive volunteer team!

(If you’d like to volunteer as a foster parent to help save a cat or dog’s life, please complete the foster application here.)

Volunteer applicants must be 18 years of age or older to complete the form.  Applicants have the opportunity to include a minor in the application. Age requirements for each volunteer area are included in the descriptions below.

Following approval of your volunteer application, you will receive a link to make a $10 non-refundable screening and T-shirt donation. You will be able to access volunteer orientations once the screening and T-shirt donation is paid. Please note that if you pay the donation and neither show up for orientation nor respond to follow-up communications, you will forfeit your T-shirt. If you are apply with a minor(s), you will be required to cover a $10 non-refundable screening and T-shirt donation for yourself and each minor volunteer.
