Court-Ordered & Pretrial Volunteers
Complete your community service hours at our shelter or thrift store.
About This Program
If you need community service hours for court, PreTrial Diversion (PTD), or PreTrial Intervention (PTI), you can complete them through our Court Program. We have two service locations: the shelter (701 NW 14th Rd, Ocala) and the thrift store (110 NW 10th St, Ocala).
Due to program capacity constraints, we are unable to accept all applicants.
Please note: Neither location allows any animal contact due to insurance requirements.
