Volunteers needed at Schererville’s Animal Control Shelter to help care for dogs, cats!

Do you love taking care of dogs and cats? Volunteers are now being invited to apply to the Schererville Police Department’s Animal Control Shelter to help take care of the dogs and cats currently housed at this no-kill shelter located at 548 Kaeser Boulevard, off Kennedy Avenue and Joliet Street.

Among the duties shelter volunteers will perform include feeding, exercising and playing with the animals, cleaning, administering medication, brushing, grooming, and bathing.  They will also perform administrative duties such as keeping logs of what tasks are completed and answering phones.  All volunteers will work under the direction of our Animal Control Officers. 

There will be a background check for each person who volunteers due to them having access into restrictive areas within part of the police department.  Shelter hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday with limited hours on the weekends.  You can fill out an application here: https://jobapps.hrdirectapps.com/applicantform/D2814434267/0  

If you have any questions please contact Deputy Chief of Police Steven McNamara at 219-322-5000 or email smcnamara@schererville.org     

The Animal Control Department takes in stray animals that are in need of new loving homes and to be cared for.  We have many cats and dogs to choose from. They are all lovable and looking for their new forever families.  Schererville Animal Control is committed to help pets in need through sheltering, adoption, education, spay/neuter, and community outreach.
