Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer at Safe Harbor Humane Society! We are always looking for volunteers to help us with a variety of tasks at the shelter. To get started volunteering you will need to attend a 1 hour orientation where we go over safe animal handling, the history of Safe Harbor, and the different opportunities we have available here. Once you have attended the orientation you are able to come in and volunteer whenever you are available.
** Our orientation dates fill up very quickly so please contact our volunteer coordinator for the next available date **

You only need to attend 1 orientation, then you are able to come help out whenever you are free. All volunteers must be at least 16 years of age (or accompanied by an adult at all times if younger). Volunteers under 18 will need a parent/guardian signature before they are able to start volunteering. We look forward to meeting you soon!

fostering

Pet Foster Parent
Do you have extra room in your heart to become a foster parent? Safe Harbor is always looking for foster families to care for animals that are too young to be adopted yet (under 8 weeks), recovering from surgery, or pregnant mothers. Our need is primarily in the summer time and it is mainly mother cats and young kittens. Safe Harbor will provide you with all the supplies you need as well as veterinary advice and support. If you are interested in becoming a foster please fill out our application or if you have any questions please email volunteer@safeharborhumane.com Become a Pet Foster Parent
