Volunteers are V.I.P.'s at the Dumb Friends League! With your help we are able to care for more than 20,000 lost, unwanted and abandoned animals every year.

How To Become A Volunteer…
Are you interested in making a six-month commitment of approximately three hours a week? Are you at least 16 years old? If you answered "yes" to both of these questions, then read on!

Step 1

Please provide us with a completed volunteer application. You can request one by calling (303) 751-5772, Ext. 1393 or you can print out your own copy (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required).

Mail the completed volunteer application to:

Dumb Friends League,
Volunteer Services Department
2080 South Quebec Street
Denver, CO 80231

Step 2

If your availability and interests coincide with available volunteer positions, we'll contact you to schedule you for a volunteer orientation.

Each volunteer attends a two-and-a-half-hour orientation where we provide an overview of our services, philosophies, an introduction to our volunteer program and a tour of our Quebec Shelter.

Step 3

Interview with a League representative to discuss your personal goals and to decide on the best volunteer assignment for you.

Step 4

Participate in a day-long training program covering volunteer policies and procedures, animal adoptions, understanding animal behavior and other important information about the League.
