We  ​   Volunteers! 

Would you like to help the fur babies of Prairie Grove Pound? 

We are always  in need of volunteers for fundraising & adoption events.

 

For those interested in fostering, please contact us. Fostered animals have a much better chance of finding their "furever" home!

 

If you would like to volunteer and connect with a great group of animal-lovers, please reach out via:

 

Contact Us page or

​

FaceBook: Friends of Prairie Grove Pound Volunteers, a private group page. This is where we coordinate our volunteers for events. Just request to join the group and you will be added.

 

Volunteer FAQ

1. Can I volunteer at the pound? What about visting?

  • The City Pound is not staffed and is therefore not open to the public. Due to City insurance liability concerns, only city officials and select Friends volunteers are allowed on-site to work at the pound.

  • Please Contact Us to schedule time with a Friends volunteer to visit the animals at the facility.
