Make a Pawsitive Impact—One Pet at a Time
Pets4Life is a community-powered, all-volunteer organization on a mission to help underserved pet families in Louisville keep their beloved pets healthy, safe, and at home. From pop-up vaccine clinics and pet food distributions to community events and mutual aid programs, there are so many meaningful ways you can get involved!
Whether you’re a veterinary professional, student, community member, or just someone who loves animals and people—we need you on our team.
🐾 Ways to Volunteer
🩺 Veterinarians & Vet Techs
We rely on the generosity of local veterinary professionals to staff our mobile wellness clinics. Each clinic needs 1–3 vets and 2–6 techs or assistants. You’ll help pets receive vaccines, microchips, dewormers, nail trims, and more—often their first access to care. Your expertise literally saves lives.

🤝 Clinic & Event Volunteers
Every clinic or resource day needs 12–24 volunteers to welcome pet owners, check in pets, assist the vet team, distribute supplies, and ensure each family is cared for with dignity. We provide on-site training and you don’t need experience—just compassion and reliability!

🐕 Transport & Outreach Helpers
Do you have a car and a little spare time? Help pet families get to their spay/neuter or vet appointments, or assist with neighborhood outreach—especially in areas with limited transportation.
🧸 Workshop Leaders & Pet Care Educators
As we expand our outreach and mutual aid programming, we’re seeking volunteers to lead short, friendly workshops or hands-on learning sessions in the community. If you have knowledge in pet care, training, grooming, wellness, or nutrition—we’d love to hear from you!
🏘️ Community Builders & Mutual Aid Supporters
Help us stock our Pet Resource Center, organize supply drives, or distribute items to pet families in need. You can also host a fundraising night, lemonade stand, or pet food drive at your business, school, scout troop, or church group. Every small act makes a big difference.
💛 You can even “pay it forward” by supporting our Amazon Wishlist or dropping off used collars, carriers, or treats.
❤️ Everyone Belongs in This Work
Pets4Life is built on the belief that everyone deserves support—and that includes our volunteers. Many of us pitch in when we can and step back when we need to. Whether you’re here once a month or once a year, you’re a valued part of the pack.
