League Membership Application


KGARL is pleased that you are considering joining us in our crusade to improve the conditions for homeless animals in King George and surrounding counties! We have two types of membership categories:

Associate Members can participate in any KGARL activity, and can volunteer to help with any KGARL committee.  Associate Members do not pay annual dues, they do not foster animals and they do not vote or run for KGARL board positions.

Active Members have all the benefits of Associate Members, as well as the ability to foster animals, participate in our annual elections and hold officer positions. Active Members are required to pay dues at the beginning of every year.

Filling out an application is the first step in our membership application process. Your application will be reviewed and a board member will contact you with the status of your application. If you are applying for active membership, upon approval you will pay your yearly dues to the Treasurer at the next KGARL meeting or through the PayPal link on our website.

Please indicate which type of membership you are applying for:

KGARL Commitees:

In an effort to match our volunteers with activities that they enjoy, please indicate any task in which you are interested on the survey that follows. You will not be committed to working any of these tasks, but if needed, we will ask if you are available to help.

Please note that for all of the Committees, the Committee Chair is responsible for managing (not necessarily doing) the tasks that are identified in each section. This is a great opportunity to improve your management skills in order to apply those skills to areas outside of KGARL.
