Volunteer

At Faxon Animal Care and Adoption Center, our volunteers play a crucial role in the care, rehabilitation, and eventual adoption of our animals. They help us maintain a clean, safe, comfortable and loving environment for the animals in our facility. 

Volunteer Opportunities

The Animal Rescue League of Fall River (specifically, our Faxon Animal Care and Adoption Center) is always looking for dedicated animal lovers to help us provide a loving place for our cats and dogs to wait while they find their forever homes. Not only do we offer opportunities to socialize our cats and dogs, we also need help with tasks that provide a safe and healthy environment for them, like washing dishes, laundry, taking out trash, and doing yardwork. We can't fulfill our mission without you!

​

We have volunteer opportunities from 8 AM- 4 PM depending on the task. Our staff -and most importantly, our animals- depend on our volunteers, so slots are scheduled for the same hour and same day each week. 

Once you submit an application, someone will get back to you to arrange a time for an initial training before beginning your routine volunteer work. 

Volunteer Guidelines

The Animal Rescue League of Fall River has rules and expectations for our volunteers. This is for the health and safety of both our volunteers and our animals.
