Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the homeless animals at the Houston Humane Society. Volunteers are the backbone to keeping Houston’s homeless animals healthy and happy. Whether you want to help better the lives of the homeless animals, or you want to prevent abuse by raising awareness of the tragedies that occur when people stop caring for animals, your efforts really make a difference!
Hours cannot be used toward court-ordered community service for probation purposes.
The minimum age to volunteer is 12 years of age.Volunteers between the ages of 12 and 15 must volunteer with their parent or legal guardian at all times. Both individuals must sign up for, and attend the Volunteer Orientation. Volunteers under the age of 16 volunteering at the shelter or HHS event without a parent or guardian will be asked to leave.
Volunteers 16 years of age and older are considered adult volunteers. Student and Adult volunteers are required to volunteer twice a month for 6 months minimum.
Volunteers who need community service hours for school must serve a minimum of 30 hours before the Volunteer Coordinator will sign off on any hours.
After you submit your application, a staff member will contact you to schedule an orientation.
