VOLUNTEER
Information
Giving back can make you feel good! Volunteering at the Humane Society for Boone County is very rewarding. Your shift is over and you are covered in dog fur and slobber when you suddenly realize that it’s dark out. You smile as you realize that your soul is renewed, your face has been covered in kisses, and you are happy. You feel good. Volunteering is wonderful therapy.
Shelters are non-profit organizations. We rely entirely on donations of time and money. No shelter can afford to hire full-time staff members to care for and walk every single animal, and that is why it is so important to have volunteer help. Volunteers are able to socialize the animals, spend time with them, walk them, and help clean their cages or feed them. HSforBC hosts activities and events throughout the year such as adoption events, a golf scramble, summertime dog wash, photos with Santa Paws, and booths at various festivals. None of the events would be successful without our dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers help with marketing, public relations, event planning and fundraising. We have found that giving voice to animals that can’t speak for themselves is a powerful feeling. By raising awareness about homeless and neglected dogs and cats, we can educate others and perhaps empower others to help our cause. HSforBC has so many opportunities for volunteers in these and other areas. You are sure to find your purrfect fit! |
