Please note that shelter volunteers must attend at least one (1) orientation at our Animal Resource Center in Ridgway before getting started walking dogs & cuddling cats. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator via email or call 970.626.2273 to learn more.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are offering limited orientation dates for new volunteers. If you'd like to get on a list to be notified of shelter orientation opportunities, please email: volunteer@AdoptMountainPets.org or fill out this form.
