Volunteer at the Shelter
The Atlantic County Animal Shelter has partnered with the Arc of Atlantic County Adult Day Habilitation program to create volunteer opportunities for their participants. Program participants visit the Animal Shelter to help socialize dogs and cats, teach basic obedience, and create cat & dog enrichment items & toys. Our Volunteer Coordinator also takes animals to the Arc facility to visit with program participants.
