Volunteer Application

Quincy Animal Shelter (“QAS”) values its volunteers tremendously. Without our Volunteers, the Shelter would not function.

Steps to Becoming a Volunteer:

1. Complete all fields before submitting.
2. Due to an overwhelming number of recent applications, there may be a delay in reviewing and responding to your submission. Please rest assured that we will be in touch as soon as possible.
3. New volunteers must attend training classes as required for specific activities. All volunteers are on a probationary period until training is completed.

We require that all Volunteers commit to volunteer on an assigned shift for a minimum of two hours per week for a period of at least six months.

Please understand that completion of this application does not assure placement. QAS fills the positions and time slots that are needed. Accuracy and completeness of this form are important in determining the acceptability for a volunteer position with QAS. You may be requested to submit additional references and participate in additional interviews, all of which are considered part of the qualification process. All pre-placement inquiries are made for the purpose of establishing your qualifications for placement with QAS.
