Looking for a great way to get involved at the Humane Society of Huron Valley? We would love to have you join our volunteer team!
Volunteering at HSHV is a very rewarding experience that can accommodate many skills, talents and interests. Your first step is to attend our interactive, hands-on New Volunteer Orientation. New Volunteer Orientations are held twice a month. During the orientation, you will have the opportunity to tour our facility and meet other prospective volunteers while learning the skills necessary to be successful on your first day of volunteering. This is a great chance to get to know our organization as well as ask any questions you may have.
There is a one-time, non-refundable program fee of $45 per person to volunteer. If you are completing court ordered community service, the fee is $80. This fee, collected at the time of registration, includes your volunteer T-shirt and nametag, many training and educational opportunities, as well as access to our on-line resource library. This fee helps offset the costs of supplies and allows us to direct more money toward the care of our animals. If the fee is a financial strain, please do not worry; We still want you to join our team! Simply call (734) 661-3517 or email volunteers@hshv.org to discuss having the fee waived.
Please note: Volunteers must be 18 years old or older to attend. If you’re 12-17 years old and interested in volunteering, please see our Junior Volunteer Program.
Returning Volunteers: As of May 1st, all volunteers who have been inactive at the shelter for 6+ months are required to attend a new volunteer orientation to resume volunteering. To register for this, please click the "Register for New Volunteer Orientation" button and select the "Returning Volunteer" ticket type.
Court-Ordered Volunteers: Individuals with a history of felonies, retail fraud, theft, larceny, animal neglect/abuse and/or violent crimes will not be permitted to join the volunteer program at HSHV. Please note that if your application is not received in time for us to review, your registration may be canceled and/or you may be asked to reschedule to another session.
We look forward to meeting you!
