Make a commitment to help out in any way you can.
Volunteering at the Shelter Friends of Upland Animal Shelter operates Upland Animal Shelter in partnership with the City of Upland's Animal Control Officers. As a new volunteer, you will attend an orientation, work one-on-one with a mentor, and attend other training sessions so you can be successful as a volunteer. Once you are trained, you can make your own schedule and volunteer anytime from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. How to Become a Shelter Volunteer
| Fostering Animals Fosters are critical members of our life-saving team. Fostering a litter of kittens or puppies or other animals who need special care gives them the chance they need to thrive.

| Volunteering at 2nd Chance Our thrift shop supports our shelter operation. At the thrift shop, regular, dedicated volunteers as well as short-term volunteers are needed to help sort and display merchandise, assist customers, do light cleaning, help with special events, and other tasks. If you need volunteer service credit, you can often schedule and complete your volunteer hours at the shop faster than at the shelter; however, we do require a minimum commitment of twenty (20) volunteer service hours to provide a completion letter.
