PMHS March Volunteer Orientation
Saturday, March 14, 2026
11:00am–12:30pm
Location / Venue
If you’re interested in volunteering at Pope Memorial Humane Society, we’d love to have you join us.
Volunteers are an important part of our daily operations. They help us care for more than 1,200 animals each year and support the programs that keep our shelter running well for the community.
Volunteer tasks may include:
- Cleaning cat rooms and dog kennels
- Walking and exercising dogs
- Assisting at the front desk
- Helping at events and community programs
- Other projects as needed
Most volunteers commit to one shift per week, usually 1½ to 2 hours. Consistency matters, and we appreciate the time and reliability our volunteers bring.
How to get started:
- Complete the online Volunteer Application.
- Attend a Volunteer Orientation. Orientations are held monthly in the PMHS Community Room and cover our mission, policies, and expectations for volunteers. You will also receive a tour of the shelter.
- Meet with our Volunteer Coordinator to discuss your availability and determine the best fit for you.
