We are looking for hard working volunteers with a loving heart towards animals. Working with animals as a volunteer at a Humane Society can be incredibly rewarding and meaningful, and there is nothing quite like the happiness you feel when an animal you cared for finds their furever home. Volunteering in a shelter can also be emotionally challenging, as we receive more animals than we can always help. Volunteers at A-PAL Humane Society must be able to navigate these ups and downs successfully, as well as fulfill our basic volunteer requirements.
