The application portal will be open from April 1 to May 5, 2026 for those who are available to attend the next PAWS VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION on May 9, 2026, 10am-1pm.

Due to the large number of applications we receive, we will prioritize applicants who can commit to 8 hours of shelter work per month. Many applicants only attend the orientation but don’t come back to volunteer.

As a show of commitment, we are now asking all applicants for a P1000 deposit which will be returned after rendering at least 8 hours of volunteer work per month for 6 consecutive months. Only applications with a verified deposit will be accepted. Should an applicant fall short of the volunteer requirement, their P1000 deposit will be forfeited and used for medication and treatment of our special-needs shelter animals.
