Thank you for your interest in North Shore Animal League America’s Volunteer Program. Due to a large and generous response to become a volunteer, we are currently not accepting any new applications. Please view our Get Involved page for more ways you can make a difference in the lives of animals.

At Animal League America, we could not perform all of the hands-on work that we do without the help of an incredible team of dedicated volunteers!
