Volunteers are the lifeblood of OKC Animal Welfare, helping us with everything from animal care to educational outreach and administration.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering or fostering! The first step is to submit an application here. Once a background check has been completed, we will send details on how to join our virtual learning classroom where you will complete our online shelter training at your own pace. Once you’ve completed the required training, you’ll be able to start!

We need volunteers of all ages, but you must be at least 13 years old to handle animals. Volunteers between 13 and 18 years old must have an accompanying adult over the age of 21 at all times.

Fostering animals is the number one way we can save more lives! Foster parents generally sign on to temporarily house animals for anywhere between one day to a few months. The great thing about fostering is that you have the opportunity to help decide which animals would be the best fit for you to take on. Some people like small dogs, some like to work with animals with medical needs, some like puppies, some like bottle baby kittens, so whatever best fits your home and lifestyle, that is what you can take!
