Ways to Help
There are many different ways in which you can help the animals
at Camden County Animal Shelter. The Camden County Animal Shelter is in great need of volunteers in the following areas:
Donate
-
Donate Time As a
Volunteer
-
Click here for descriptions of various volunteer
opportunities.
-
Donate Time As A Foster
Parent
-
We always need dedicated people to
foster cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies,
especially during the summer months. Fostering is a
wonderful way to help ready shelter animals for their
forever homes.
-
Donate Money
-
By either making a one-time donation, or setting up a
recurring one, your money helps the shelter fund its medical
expenses, replace worn out leashes, collars, and carriers,
and many additional canine and feline needs. You can
donate online
here, in person, or by mail.
-
Donate Items
-
By donating items CCAS is in need of, such as those
listed on our
Wish List, you save the shelter the expense of purchasing the items. This in turn lets the shelter use that money for something
else the animals need, like surgery or medicine for a special needs pet!
Foster
-
Become
A Foster Parent
-
We are looking for responsible, animal loving people who are willing to open up their hearts and
homes to special needs orphans at our shelter. Animals that
need to be in foster care may include (but are not limited
to) sick cats/dogs, moms with litters of kittens/ puppies,
orphan puppies/kittens that need to be bottle-fed, dogs/cats
recovering from surgery, and/or animals that need further
socialization.

foster program.
Volunteer
-
PetSmart Adoption Centers
-
We
currently have cats for adoption at four local PetSmarts.
Volunteers are always needed for morning, evening, and
weekend shifts.
-
Dog Walkers/Animal Socialization
-
We
are seeking responsible volunteers, ages 18+, to assist with
walking/exercising dogs and general animal socialization. Volunteers
provide exercise and human companionship for adoptable animals. Must be
able to maintain control of dog on all aspects of walk, from retrieval
& return to kennel, as well as appropriate handling in outdoor
play-area. Interested volunteers should have experience interacting
with dogs and attend volunteer orientation, including animal handling.
-
Fundraisers
- We
desperately need volunteers who are willing to help formulate and
participate in Special Events that will help raise money for the
shelter. If interested in joining our Fundraising Team, or if you work
at a place (i.e. a bowling alley, restaurant, etc) that would be
willing to let us host an event there, please e-mail us at info@ccasnj.org.
-
Internet Updaters
- A
great amount of potential adopters come into the shelter after viewing
animals on our website. In order for us to post animals on the website,
we need volunteers who are willing to come in and handle the dogs and
cats while photographing them. Then the volunteer must place accurate information about each animal on the website. Training will be provided as needed.
-
Kennel and Cage Cleaners
- We
are in need of dedicated volunteers who are willing to come into the
shelter to help our staff clean the dog kennels and cat cages in the
morning. If you are not interested in cleaning cages, then we also need
volunteers to help do laundry and dishes. This may not be the most fun
volunteer job, but doing cleaning is one of the best ways that a
volunteer can help our orphans.
-
Matchmakers
- Matchmakers
are in charge of helping customers find the right pet for their home.
This job involves knowing the animals' personalities, as well as having
good communication skills. Training will be done to ensure that
matchmakers know the proper procedure when handling customers.
