Make a Difference for Pets and Their People!

At Mission Animal Hospital, every role helps create brighter futures for pets in need — and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers. Our Hospital Support Volunteers play a vital part in keeping our facility clean, organized, and running smoothly so our veterinary team can focus on what they do best: providing compassionate care for dogs and cats.

What You’ll Do:

• Help clean and sanitize surgical instruments and medical equipment following our care and safety protocols
• Keep the laundry room tidy, organized, and stocked with clean bedding and towels for our furry patients
• Wipe down and dust mop exam rooms to ensure a fresh, clean space for each visit
• Maintain outdoor common areas by picking up pet waste and keeping them inviting for clients and pets
• Cut and fold surgical drapes to prepare for life-changing procedures
• Fill flush syringes and open oral syringes to support our medical team’s daily workflow
• Sort and move donations to our main vestibule for clients in need
