Volunteering with Animal Services

Kids Who Care

For Kids 14 and Under

If you have kids under 14 that want to be involved with GPAS, then we have the program for you! Our Kids Who Care Program is designed to get kids that are too young to volunteer with GPAS involved with the animals!

Individual children can help the animals through Kids Who Care by fundraising, creating toys for the animals, collecting donated items from our wish list, and much more!

For Groups

Groups, such as school classes, teams, troops, etc, can also participate in Kids Who Care! You can help GPAS by fundraising, collecting donated items from our wish list, and making toys for our animals. On a limited basis, we also offer Kids Who Care educational talks to groups, where a member of our staff will come to your location to talk to the kids about shelter animals as well as how to properly meet and greet animals.

Do you want to Request a Tour?

We love it when you visit our shelter! If you would like to schedule a children’s tour of Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center, please contact our Events Coordinator at avincent@gptx.org.We recommend groups no larger than 15 at a time. Tours typically last one hour.

Group Volunteer Opportunities

Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center has volunteer opportunities available for corporate and other service groups seeking special projects to benefit the organization. Projects typically include special events (lemonade stand at shelter, etc.), donation drives and shelter maintenance projects.

Group volunteers do not interact directly with or handle shelter animals.

Large groups take planning. We need to know at least 30 days in advance and we cannot guarantee we will have an on-site project for you, but we will see if our needs match your group’s interests.

If you have any questions or need help with hosting an event, please feel free to contact us.

*Tours of our facility can also be scheduled!
