Volunteer Opportunities
Match Maker:
Help assist the public in completing adoption applications and provide support to adoption counselors. Show potential adopters to the kennels/condos to help them find their purrrfect match. Make follow up phone calls to new HHS alumni households.
Doggie Kennel/ Kitty Condo Attendant:
Walk and play with the dogs - they rely on volunteers for needed exercise and human contact. Play with and brush the cats making sure they don't forget what it's like to be held.
Photo Team Member:
Have a digital camera? Help us help put our animals on the web. Take pictures of adoptable animals to be posted on Petfinder, Pets911, and other websites.
Dog Bather:
When you look pretty, you act pretty. That goes for our furry friends too. Clean dogs are more attractive to prospective owners and the attention they get from their groomers is much needed.
Mobile Adoption Team Member:
Go out in to the community to showcase our adoptable animals from the HHS at mobile adoption sites.
Administrative Assistance:
Assist shelter and administrative staff with mail outs, phone calls, making adoption bags, data entry, and more.
