Volunteer Program
Volunteers are vital to the Humane Society of Washington County and our mission of becoming a no kill community. They help us to raise funds for our programs, assist with adoption events and transportation of animals. We could not exist without the time, effort, enthusiasm and expertise that each volunteer commits to giving. If you love animals and like working with people, please consider becoming a volunteer with the Humane Society of Washington County. We are experiencing exciting growth and we have many needs now and new opportunities on the horizon.

Getting Started: Fill out an online volunteer application (button below) and sign up for an Orientation. Orientations are every Tuesday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The orientation session is essential and required for all volunteers. It provides information regarding our organization, rules and regulations and what volunteers can expect when volunteering with us. Future training may also be required after initial orientation dependent on the position volunteers choose. Each volunteer must purchase and wear a Humane Society T-Shirt when volunteering. T-shirts will be available after orientation for $10.00.
