Interested in volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter?

Since its founding in 1987, hundreds of dedicated volunteers have been responsible for the adoption of thousands of dogs and cats in Evanston. Their work has been outstanding and impactful in our community, as they worked hard to help pair loving families with dogs and cats in need of caring homes.

If you're interested in joining the dedicated team of volunteers or continuing your volunteer efforts at the shelter, please visit volunteerevanston.org.
