Ventura County Animal Regulation (VCAR) is seeking individuals who would like to donate their time and energy to helping the animals at Ventura County’s local animal shelter. Volunteers are needed for a variety of duties including both working with the animals and working to make the shelter adoption experience an easier process. Sample assignments around the shelter include directing newcomers to different kennels, changing kennel signs, and sorting donations for the Pet Pantry. Specific jobs working with animals include dog walkers, dog and cat groomers, horse groomers, and ambassadors at our offsite adoption events.

At this time, the shelter volunteer program is only accepting applications from individuals 18 years and older. Our next New Volunteer Orientation will be held Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 11 AM at our Camarillo shelter which is located at 600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo.
