The City of Aurora’s Animal Care and Control Division is excited to unveil a new, streamlined volunteer program designed to increase safety, training, and fulfilling interactions for both participants and pets alike!
The new program, which includes five different specializations, allows prospective volunteers to submit an online application. Qualified applicants will then receive an assignment based on individual interests, backgrounds, level of training, and expertise. This improved volunteer system aligns with nationwide best practices, and helps each animal receive the care it needs.
AACC's new volunteer program is open to participants 18 years of age or older, or participants ages 16 to 17 if accompanied by a parent or guardian who is an approved volunteer.
