How to Volunteer at a Humane Society
The Humane Society is the largest animal protection agency in the United States. They advocate for animal rights, encourage adoption of abandoned animals and rescue abused animals. Whether working in legal system to help create laws to protect animals or in the shelters caring for the animals, many volunteers are needed in the Humane Society.
Go to the Human Society webpage. On the right hand side of the webpage, you will see several ways to volunteer with the Humane Society. Under Take Action, click on one of the options and follow the instructions.
