OPPORTUNITIES

From Nov. 1-March 1 (approximate date) the shelter will be at limited operations as we have our A/C system replaced.

 

During this time, volunteer opportunities will be limited to 

the following options:

 

Fostering

🐾 Adoption Ambassador: Open your heart and home by fostering a pet until they find their forever family.  

🐾 Weekend Warrior/Hiking Buddy: Give a dog a mini-vacation! Take them home or on an adventure for a much-needed shelter break.

 

At home and away

🐾 Offsite events: assist with adoptable shelter dogs at offsite adoption events by walking them and helping them find adopters.

🐾 Enrichment Extraordinaire: Whip up fun and tasty treats for our furry friends from your own kitchen.  

🐾 Transport Team: Hit the road and help save lives by driving animals to rescue partners, both near and far.  ​​​​​
*Transport drivers must be 25 years or older with a clean driving record

 

Shelby Humane does offer court-ordered
community service opportunities.
However, these are not available from Nov. 1-March 1 due to our a/c unit being replaced.
Restrictions apply.
