Interested in volunteering with HSEC? Here you will find all the information you need to get started as well as details about our current volunteer opportunities!
In order to volunteer you must be at least 13 years of age and all volunteers MUST attend an hour-long volunteer orientation before working with HSEC animals.
Orientation is held the 2nd Saturday and the 3rd Wednesday of every month. Click here for more information and a list of dates and times for 2012 orientation sessions.
We always need more volunteers to help walk dogs, cuddle cats, assist with off-site adoption stands, clean our facility, help with special events and much much more! Have a special talent?! Please share it with us! W're always on the look out for volunteers who can help us with graphic design, marketing, blogging, etc!
