Why Volunteer?

You can be part of a dedicated team helping homeless, abandoned and abused animals in our community. You will meet new people with similar interests and hobbies. You will be able to share special skills and develop new ones to benefit yourself and the organization. You can enhance your resume with valuable experience and acquire references. You also get an overload of wet kisses, soft purrs, paw prints, and tail wags.

How To Become A Volunteer

Back to Top

Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age and be willing to make a commitment to the volunteer program. If you are younger than 15, you can still help out if accompanied by a parent or guardian, or you can be part of a youth group supervised by adult counselors. The frequency of volunteering depends on your schedule and your job placement. Your skills and interest will be carefully matched to a job you'll enjoy!

If you are interested in volunteering, e-mail us at hsecvolunteer@embarqmail.com. Our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to answer your questions and determine your interests.

All volunteers are required to attend an orientation session prior to donating time to the Humane Society.

If you are not able to donate your services at this time, please consider making a donation to the Humane Society.
