The Humane Society for Boone County promotes many successful activities and events throughout the year. Whether our summertime Suds & Shake dog wash or Photos with Santa Paws, or the monthly Adoption Day or Lebanon's 4th of July parade, none of the events would be successful without our dedicated volunteers. Public awareness and fundraising in addition to rescue and adoption efforts are currently our primary missions. Each of these require the help of a trained and reliable volunteer staff.

What do I need to bring to volunteer orientation?

After we contact you for an orientation, all you need to bring is yourself!

How many hours am I required to volunteer each week?

It will depend on which volunteer programs you select for participation, as some opportunities require training and a time commitment, while others do not. This is discussed in more detail at the orientation.
