About
The Athens-Clarke County Animal Services protects the public safety and health from at-large and dangerous animals and protects animals from inhumane treatment. Animal Services provides the following services for citizens:
Availability
The Animal Services Adoption Center is open to the public from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day by appointment only and is closed on Government Holidays. Typically, volunteer hours are Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with the most help needed on weekdays. Availability varies depending on the volunteer position, and we are able to accommodate most schedules.
Commitment
Animals live in the moment, and each visit from a volunteer is meaningful! Any level of commitment is welcome and appreciated, however, we hope that you will be active in your volunteer service if you join our team. We are looking for volunteers that can spend time with our pets for at least a couple of shifts per month. Certain positions may require specific time commitments – please refer to the Current Volunteer Positions page for more information.
