Thank you for your interest in bringing your business or community organization to PAWS to volunteer! We have opportunities for work groups at either of our campuses in Washington State: Lynnwood or Snohomish.
We usually request volunteer groups to help with grounds maintenance tasks such as:
- Weeding
- Painting
- Landscaping
- Helping with small building projects
- Spreading bark on our dog walking or wildlife interpretive trails
These projects do not include hands-on contact with the animals in our care, but they are all integral aspects of helping animals in need, allowing staff and long-term volunteers to focus on important daily animal care. Volunteers who help us with animal care go through extensive training and make a weekly commitment to a volunteer position. To become an animal care volunteer, please view our volunteer opportunities.
For Eagle Scout project inquiries please contact our Education Team at [email protected]
If your group is interested in volunteering:
- You must choose where you want to volunteer: Lynnwood or Snohomish.
- Your group should consist of at least five people. We can typically accommodate groups of 5-15 volunteers.
- Please commit to volunteering for least three hours.
- Remember that most, if not all, volunteer work takes place outside, rain or shine.
- Please make arrangements at least two weeks in advance of the date you are requesting.
- Keep in mind that not all dates will be available.
Please note: This PAWS has two campuses: Lynnwood or Snohomish. If you are looking for a different PAWS, please visit this page for information about other organizations called PAWS.
