A Humane Society Volunteer can do many types of work at the shelter or at many of our events around Charles County. Volunteers do everything from socialization of our pets to cleaning cages and washing blankets, from foster care in their homes to Humane Education in Charles County schools, from grooming and feeding animals to helping with off-site adoptions at local businesses such as PetsMart. To be honest, the Humane Society needs many different kinds of skills, from people that love helping animals to people with professional skills in computer networks, public relations, veterinary services, office skills, fundraising and customer service. Volunteers help run our very successful Yard Sales, Dog Walks, Basket Bingo nights, Rabies Clinics and other events. Most of all, volunteers are motivated to do whatever is needed to ensure that as many pet's lives are saved as possible. After all, that's the bottom line. Everything that is done serves the goal of saving lives and providng an opportunity for the right people and families to experience the wonderful things that a pet can bring into their lives.
Volunteers should be at least 14 years old. Those under 18 are required to have written permission of a parent or guardian. Give us a call or come by to visit!

Humane Society of Charles County volunteers will be requried to undergo some training and an orientation to our shelter. We understand that our volunteers may have other jobs and families to take care of, so we schedule you at a time when you are able to be here or at one of our scheduled events.
