Volunteer Groups

Interested in bringing a group to volunteer at Harbor Humane? Awesome! The last Thursday of every month, we allow volunteers from outside groups and organizations to come out and join us for a day of service. From weeding out kennels to painting, we have so much that needs to be done so that we can provide our animals with the most love and care possible.

Volunteer

When thinking about becoming a volunteer here, we ask for a commitment of at least 6 months, with a minimum of 5 hours per month. Those that are under the age of 16 are asked that they sign up to volunteer with a parent/guardian that has also attended our orientation. If you are passionate about saving homeless animals’ lives and feel like you can make the requested time commitment, the next step is to sign up for volunteer orientation.
