Your Help is Needed!

Volunteers are always wanted and appreciated.  Our Volunteers are heroes to the many animals who pass through the ITV Center.  You can make a difference in many ways.  You may wish to work directly with the animals, at community events, or helping with rescue center operations.

We have a Facebook group where we post notices to our volunteers about ITV events.  Please follow the group at //www.facebook.com/groups/1507237419536761/

We welcome younger volunteers.  For the safety of our dogs and everyone involved, teenagers 14-15 years old must have an adult present while volunteering at the rescue center.  Teenagers 16-17 years old may volunteer, but everyone under 18 years old must have their legal guardian sign a permission slip/release.  We are sorry, but we generally cannot accept volunteers under 14 years old at the rescue center.  If younger volunteers want to get involved in other ways, please feel free to email us at info@itvrescue.org.

Please complete the following application to help us identify your interests.

For questions about our program call us at (812)909-1306 or email info@itvrescue.org.  Please note that we can only accept a limited number of volunteers on any given day so it is always best to schedule a volunteer time or call prior to coming to the rescue to volunteer.

  • Please note that some mobile devices are not compatible with our form. It is best to complete this application on a computer or you can email us at info@itvrescue.org for more information.
  • 18 is the minimum age for volunteers to be at the shelter alone. For volunteers who are 16-17, a parent or legal guardian must sign a liability waiver at the shelter. Volunteers who are 15 & under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times while at the shelter.
