Volunteer Opportunities
Wild Days Wildlife Shelter receives no government funding and is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers.
As Wild Days is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, we are always in need of extra hands. Our busiest time of the year is spring (baby season) and extreme heat periods of summer (dehydration and burns), when we need all hands on deck to give our animals the best chance of success.
Wild Days accepts people from all walks of life, both young and not-so-young and believes that everyone can make a difference.
