Volunteering with CCAS

If you have the time, we have the place! There are always things going on here at CCAS, and we're always seeking volunteers to help. Please read through the volunteer needs below and fill out the Volunteer Application today!

Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. The only exception is for children who are interested in the foster program with parental consent.

Foster Care Program

The CCAS Foster Care Program allows us to maintain underage puppies and kittens until they are big enough to spay/neuter and place for adoption. Our foster families help care for our animals, and help to find them the best possible adoptive homes.

We are looking for 20 volunteer foster homes. Although fostering takes a great deal of time and commitment, it can be an incredibly rewarding experience.

If you are interested in being a foster family, please fill out the VOLUNTEER APPLICATION below, or contact Jessica Lee at JeLee@canyoncounty.org.
