Volunteer Information

Safe In Austin is a 501(c)3 nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for animals that have been abused, abandoned, or have special needs. We show our rescues a new way of life by sharing their unique stories and introducing them to children with similar backgrounds to heal along side the animals.

​

Safe In Austin Volunteers gain experience working at a nonprofit sanctuary with over 200 animal residents covering over a dozen species, learn valuable skills related to animal health behavior and care, as well as get the chance to bond with so many animals while performing daily duties. 

​

Your time volunteering at Safe In Austin is valued beyond words, and we thank you for your interest in joining the team! We could not maintain the high standards of care without the help of our interns and volunteers.

​

Different ways to volunteer with us.

​

1. Weekly/Biweekly Volunteer- 

These volunteers with attend our orientations to learn all about the intensive training program we have for our weekly/biweekly volunteers to care and work with the animals.

​

2. Public Day Volunteers-

We do not require an orientation however to strongly advise you attend one. Public day volunteers will assist with setup and supervise an animal area while guests are visiting. 

​

3. All Call Volunteers

Occasionally when we can we open to anyone who is available to volunteer. We will usually post these days and times on our social media pages as soon as we can. Everyone one is able to come these days with no orientation or trainings needed.
