Port Washington Animal League

The Animal League could not perform all of the hands-on work that we do without the help of an incredible team of dedicated volunteers.

If you're an animal lover, and can volunteer at least four hours a week for a year, we really want to hear from you.

All Types of Volunteer Positions

From bottle-feeding motherless kittens to answering phones and offering foster care to our special needs animals, all of our volunteers improve the quality of life for the tens of thousands of pets sheltered at the Animal League each year.
