AnimalKind FundraisingVolunteering with AnimalKind is a great way to have big impact on the lives of cats and dogs in NC.*

*Our volunteer programs. Orientation will be scheduled by appointment. Please contact the office for more information.

Be a part of the solution to the overpopulation of cats and dogs in NC and their subsequent euthanasia in shelters.  AnimalKind provides programs and resources to help end the unnecessary euthanasia in NC shelters by helping families spay and neuter their dogs and cats.

We are not a shelter or a clinic, so no animal experience is necessary to volunteer with us.   Individuals, school groups, service organizations and those needing court ordered community service hours are all welcome!

AnimalKind has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, like:

  • planning special events
  • assisting at our office
  • helping at our thrift shop… and many more!

We love getting kids involved in responsible pet care and community giving. If you have a particular idea for getting your child involved please let us know. Also see “Host your own donation drive” below.

Donation Drive Toolkit!

Hosting a donation drive for our ReTails Thrift Shop is one of the best ways to support AnimalKind’s mission and programs. This activity is great for individuals, clubs, and families with young children. Volunteers have the opportunity to create their own flyers, set the day and time of their drive, pass around to their neighborhood, workplace, or church family, and then collect items to bring to ReTails. Items can include clothes, accessories, household items, sporting goods, furniture, and much more! Check out our Donation Drive Toolkit.
