Be the change – become a volunteer.
You get to choose how you can help. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available. Select what suits you…then join us – you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference you can make! Interested parties will need to submit a volunteer application – available below or at the shelter. After we process your application, we invite you to a general orientation, which includes an overview of HSMC and its procedures and policies. During this time, we also provide a dog-walking and cat-socialization orientation.
Minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian who is a registered volunteer. Minors between the ages of 16 to 18 may volunteer within the shelter with a signed waiver by their parent/guardian and attendance at a general orientation. You must be 18 years of age to walk a dog or participate in events outside the shelter that include an animal.
Simply submit* this form and join us in making humane treatment possible for all living creatures. Don’t forget to download and fill out the volunteer liability waiver form and bring it with along with a photo ID you when you come in. Click here to download the waiver form.
