Volunteer

Your Time Can Make a Difference

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the kindness and generosity of people like you to help make our facility a truly loving and comforting place.
Volunteers are crucial to the success of the Humane Society of the North Bay. They make a big impact when it comes to improving the lives of the animals we care for as well as helping to defray the costs of full-time staffers. Our volunteers handle duties such as pet grooming, animal care, cleaning, office work, special events , handy work, as well as fostering pets in their own homes.
If you have the extra time and would like to make a difference by reaching out to these needy animals, please consider becoming a Humane Society of the North Bay volunteer. We have several opportunities available for you to explore. Whether you have an hour or two a week, want to spend several days helping out, or have a service project to complete, we have something for you! To apply, click here.
