Volunteering

The Humane Society is always looking for volunteers to help in the shelter, to help educate the public, and assist with pet therapy and to help with outside adoptions and fundraising events. No prior volunteer experience is necessary. If interested, please contact the Paula O'Neal, Education and Volunteer Coordinator at 772-461-0687, extension 224, volunteers@hsslc.org or submit the Volunteer Questionnaire Form.

  • Serve on at least one team.
