Got love to spare?
Animal lovers just like you make up our Volunteer Force. While our volunteers come from different backgrounds, they all have three things in common –
-
Compassion for the homeless animals in our community
-
Commitment to work together to create a brighter future for the animals
-
Consistency and reliability in helping us care for the animals and operate our programs
From working directly with the animals to helping prospective pet parents find the right companion, our dedicated volunteers make a difference at the HSBH each day! Some of the areas in which our volunteers provide much-needed help include the following:
Administrative Support Animal Interaction (walking/bathing/playing with animals)
Humane Education for kids Rescue Transport
Adoption Advising Outreach Events
General Cleaning Foster Care
To become a HSBH Volunteer, you must be:
- At least 16 years of age or have parental supervision

Share the love!
