Volunteer With Us

Make a difference in the lives of pets and their families

Hours Mon-Thu: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Address 2444 S Walnut Street, Bloomington

We're always looking for caring volunteers to help at the clinic, with events, and administrative work. Whether you have a few hours a month or a regular weekday slot, there's a place for you on our team.

What Volunteers Do

Clinic Assistance

Help with check-in, prep animals for procedures, assist with post-surgery recovery monitoring, and comfort pets and their owners.

Event Support

Represent Pets Alive at community events, help with fundraisers, and spread the word about our low-cost services.

Administrative

Answer phones, organize records, help with mailings, and support our team with day-to-day operations.

TNR & Outreach

Assist with our Trap-Neuter-Return program, help transport feral cats, and connect community members with resources.

Who can volunteer? Anyone 18 or older. No veterinary experience needed — we'll train you. Our clinic operates Monday through Thursday, so most volunteer shifts fall on weekdays. Weekend opportunities are available for special events.

Areas of Interest

Join Our Board of Directors

Volunteer leadership · Bloomington, IN

Pets Alive is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors — and we're actively looking for new directors to help guide the next chapter of a $1M+ nonprofit that performed over 8,900 surgeries last year.

Board members help set strategy, safeguard the organization's financial health, champion fundraising, and represent the clinic in the community. You don't need to be a veterinarian: we especially value experience in areas like finance and accounting, law, fundraising and development, marketing, healthcare, and community leadership — paired with a genuine commitment to the mission.

If you're interested, introduce yourself below. The Board Chair reviews every application personally, and we'll follow up to talk through expectations, time commitment, and whether it's a good mutual fit.

You can still make a difference. Every donation helps us keep surgery prices affordable for families who need it most.
