Volunteer!

Volunteers are the Backbone of PAWSBINK

You can have fun and make a difference. We would love to have you become one of the wonderful volunteers who help make PAWS of Bainbridge Island & North Kitsap an essential resource for pet families in North Kitsap.

From Home

Foster homes are a vital part of our adoption program. You can help save lives from the comfort of your own home.

At the Adoption Center

Adoption Counselors match prospective families with cats and kittens in need of homes.

In the Community

Pet Food Bank volunteers and Event volunteers share the PAWSBINK mission throughout North Kitsap.

For more information of these and other volunteer opportunities, please contact our volunteer coordinator.
