Why Volunteer With PAACT?
A Role Tailored to You
At PAACT, we believe in empowering our volunteers by aligning their strengths with purposeful roles.

From rehoming support and outreach to event planning or digital content creation, we match you with meaningful tasks that reflect your gifts.
Flexibility & Freedom
We know that life is busy — which is why over 40% of our roles are remote-friendly and adaptable to your schedule. While we aim for consistency, especially for core and leadership positions, many of our roles are very flexible. We do ask that core volunteers commit a minimum of 10 hours per week to ensure continuity and impact.
Real imPAACT
Every task you take on directly supports the well-being of vulnerable pets and the families who love them. Whether you’re coordinating a food delivery, sharing information about a missing pet, supporting a grief group, or assisting a pet owner in crisis, your efforts play a vital role in reducing shelter surrenders, preventing emergencies, and making compassionate care more accessible to those who need it most.
A Compassionate Community
You will join a deeply empathetic team of volunteers who care about animals and people. We meet pet owners where they are — with dignity, understanding, and without judgment. Our shared values are rooted in advocacy, sustainability, and strengthening the human-animal bond.
Opportunities for Everyone
Whether you are a student, semi-retired, working from home, or someone simply looking to make a difference, we welcome you.
You might help:
- Build insulated outdoor shelters for stray cats through our Frosty Paws Sanctuaries
- Stock and distribute pet essentials for families via the Care Closet
- Support responsible rehoming efforts through Tail End Journey
- Participate in grief support groups like Whiskers Over the Rainbow

From there, you may choose to grow into a leadership or board position, contributing to strategic planning, program development, and long-term sustainability.
