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.
