Volunteer Programs

Volunteers are a vital asset to the animals at HHS and make many of our programs possible. To become an HHS volunteer you must be
18 years of age or older, be willing to make a commitment of time and attend an "orientation" at our shelter.

There are a variety of different programs available for each individual to choose from. We need plenty of cheerful volunteers to keep these programs active.
