Becoming a 

Thinking about volunteering with the Idaho Humane Society? There’s more to it than walking dogs and cuddling cats! With over 20 roles—many non-animal-related—we need help with donations, data entry, and laundry to support 10,000 animals each year.

Our volunteers make it all possible! Before applying, please review your availability as training takes time and resources. While we aim to match volunteers with their preferred roles, our priority is meeting the animals’ needs. In an effort to do both, we ask candidates to submit an application for review so that our team can verify your eligibility and recommend the opportunities that might be the best fit for you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask by emailing volunteer@idahohumanesociety.org
