Volunteer Orientation Information

Thank you for your interest in the Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter.   We ask all new volunteers to go through a volunteer orientation.  
Orientation sessions are not offered on a drop-in basis; you must contact the shelter to sign up for an orientation date.  Please review the following schedule and contact the shelter at 313-943-2697.

Adult Orientation Sessions  10:00 am - 1:00 pm

The orientation session includes the following:

Please dress to work with the animals, no shorts or sandals.


Student Sessions (for volunteers under age 16) 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Because student volunteers work directly with shelter animals, orientations focus on safety issues and shelter rules. Student volunteers are specifically trained in cat and puppy handling as well as dog walking.  There is a brief tour of the shelter and one-on-one time with the dogs and cats. Students are also given an information packet to take home, which includes a student volunteer Handbook.  Please dress to work with the animals, no shorts or sandals.

Orientation Dates

 - All sessions are done on Saturdays. 
 - Adult volunteer times are 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, Student Volunteer (under age 16) times are 1:00 pm - 2:30 PM.
