Every day, Stratford Animal Control Officers respond to calls involving injured wildlife, sick stray cats, and neglected dogs. When an animal needs urgent care, getting them safely to help can make all the difference.
That’s where volunteer drivers come in.
We are building a dependable network of compassionate volunteers to help transport animals in need—whether it’s wildlife heading to a licensed rehabilitator or domestic animals requiring veterinary care. Some trips are urgent, others are scheduled. Every ride is a lifeline.
What you’ll need
- A reliable vehicle
- Some flexibility when you’re available
- A big heart
No pressure—if you can help, great. If not, that’s okay too. Instructions and any necessary supplies will be provided.
Why volunteer?
- You directly help save lives
- You become part of a compassionate, supportive team
- You see firsthand the impact of your kindness
How it works
- Complete the volunteer application.
- Approved volunteers will receive an email invite to join the Connecteam app.
- Once enrolled, you’ll have access to the Transportation Volunteer chat.
- Transport needs will be posted with the time, date, and location.
- If you’re available, simply reply in the chat.
- All animals are transported in crates, with rare exceptions for friendly, well-socialized dogs using a harness and seatbelt. Those transports are offered only to qualified volunteers.
If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to help—this is it. Help us bridge the gap between crisis and care in Stratford.
