Volunteers Needed
The Humane Society of Harris County is a licensed, non-profit organization dedicated
to the general welfare, shelter and placement of homeless animals. As a non-profit
organization, which is solely dependent financially on donations, we strongly need
and depend on volunteers as an essential role in helping provide our service to
the community.
Harris County is growing by leaps and bounds. As more people move into our
area there will be more animals that require our care. It also requires us
to work harder at educating people about pet overpopulation, the humane treatment
of animals, and animal welfare issues.
Volunteers Are Critical To Our Mission
We rely on them,
encourage and seek participation from volunteers to help with:
•Social or Educational Community Work •Mobile Adoptions •Foster Care
•Administrative Duties
With a wide range of tasks, we accommodate a wide variety of volunteer interests
and talents that aid in fulfilling the needs of both our animals and our operation
responsibilities. So, your willingness to get involved brings a new expertise
to our organization that can make a difference.
