Get Involved at Barnwell County Animal Shelter
Getting involved with the shelter is more than just volunteering—it’s about becoming part of a community that cares deeply for animals in need. Whether you open your home as a foster, help at adoption days, or join one of our fundraisers, your involvement makes a lasting difference.

Volunteer Opportunities
From walking dogs to helping at adoption events, there’s a role for everyone. No matter your skills or schedule, you can make a difference.

Dog Walking
Daily walks give our dogs exercise, joy, and social time. Just an hour of your day can brighten theirs.


Cat Socialization
Spend time playing with and comforting cats in our shelter. Your attention helps shy cats learn to trust.


Shelter Support
Assist with feeding, cleaning, laundry, or welcoming visitors. Every task keeps the shelter running smoothly.”


Become a Foster
When you foster, you give animals a safe place to heal, grow, and prepare for adoption. It’s one of the most powerful ways to make a difference — and we provide everything you need to get started.
