On Saturday, June 6, The Empty Shelter Project will provide FREE high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and microchips to more than 550 pets whose owners live in selected Zip Codes near our event area in Splendora at the Splendora High School. Not only does this improve pets' health, but it also helps us tackle our community's significant pet overpopulation issue, preventing births and keeping unwanted pets out of shelters and off the streets. 

Volunteers are needed to help set up on the afternoon of Friday, June 5 and to work a variety of positions on Saturday, June 6. Animal handling roles take place on Saturday throughout the day and require volunteers who are 18 and older, including positions such as: Animal Runners (escorting pets to surgery rooms), Dog Recovery (post-op support), Dog Kennel (cleaning kennels and monitoring pets), Dog Transport (carrying dogs to and from surgery), and Cat Scribe (taking cats through the surgical journey), all require volunteers to be at least 18 years old, no exceptions.

Volunteers who prefer not to handle animals have many roles to choose from, such as greeting, pack washing, hospitality, merchandise sales, volunteer check-in, and more. We always need volunteers to help set up on Friday afternoon and breakdown/clean on Saturday afternoon, and these roles can be filled by anyone 16 and older!

All volunteers must provide an email address to register and must sign a waiver. Those under 18 must also have a parent or guardian sign.

NOTE: PET APPOINTMENTS ARE BASED ON ZIP CODE, AND VOLUNTEERS CAN ONLY BRING PETS IF THEY LIVE WITHIN THE SELECTED ZIP CODE. VOLUNTEERS CANNOT DROP OFF PETS EARLY OR LATE, HOVER NEAR PETS, OR PICK PETS UP EARLY.
