Junior​/Youth Volunteers Tracy, CA

Our Vision

Dedicated to the rescue, nurturing and adoption of companion animals.

To rescue and nurture companion animals with the mission of finding them safe and happy adoptive homes. We strive to create community awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering to avoid overpopulation and reduce the community euthanasia rate.

Animal Rescue of Tracy was founded in 1994 to meet an increasing need for compassionate care for abandoned or mistreated pets. In 2002, Animal Rescue of Tracy became a full-fledged, independent, non-profit rescue. In our existence we have rescued, spayed/neutered, and found homes for more than 2,000 cats and dogs. We rescue animals from the local shelter and work with the public in select abandonment situations.

Junior/Youth Volunteers are welcome to volunteer with Animal Rescue of Tracy ALL YEAR ROUND (even when you're out of school our kittens and cats are still looking for their FOREVER homes, and you can still receive credit for school! We have adoption fairs on Saturdays and Sundays at the West Valley Mall in Tracy. We need you to show our cats, talk about them, and you can earn community service hours for your high school!

This opportunity will also look great on applications for work and college. Think of it as your first "job", but you get to spend it cuddling and playing with cats! You MUST be at least 14 years old to be a Junior/Youth Volunteer.)
