Volunteer
Our volunteers are our most important asset and they do a remarkable job for the animals, the shelter and our programs. Everyday,
a volunteer helps improve the life of an animal
here at the Wisconsin Humane Society. Our volunteers
help over 20,000 animals a year through fostering, dog walking, or working in our Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center. Our beautiful shelter allows
us to provide the best creature comforts for our
animals and the volunteers who interact with them.
If you would like to join us to find homes for animals, educate the public or raise funds, this is what you need to do:
- Complete a general volunteer application.
- Attend a Volunteer Orientation Session. You'll be contacted to reserve your spot.
- Be 18 years of age or older. Youth ages 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent for all volunteer sessions.
Volunteers 13 years old may volunteer by themselves in our
Orphaned Bird Care program that takes place during
the spring and summer months. Please read each volunteer
opportunity for the minimum age requirements.
After you have submitted your volunteer application, you will hear from us within approximately 2 weeks.
Due to the large influx of volunteer applications that we receive during the busy summer months, volunteer orientations fill up quickly! You will likely be scheduled for an orientation approximately 8 weeks from the receipt of your application.
Opportunities are available in the following positions:
Due to the high volume of volunteer inquiries, we are not accepting new volunteer applications for: Dog Shine, Veterinary Services, Cat Socialization* and the Visiting Companions program.
* We are offering a limited number of parent/child teams in our Cat Socialization program.
If you have questions
about the volunteer program, please call or email the Volunteer Coordinator at (414) 431-6103.
