Community Service Volunteer: Court Ordered

Sign Up

Volunteers Welcome

Volunteers serve a vital role in helping the animals here at the Humane Society of Macomb. On average we help over 1,800 dogs and cats each year and without our dedicated volunteers we would be unable to pro-vide the next level enrichment these animals need and deserve. As a volunteer, you will provide exercise and enrichment for the animals that is needed for their health and well-being. This also assists in the process of them ﬁnding their forever homes.

All volunteers are required to attend an orientation, plus a hands-on training session to learn how to safely and appropriately interact with the animals. Neither will count toward hours needed for school, service clubs, etc.

Volunteers are always welcome! Call us, sign up, get acquainted and ask about available times to volunteer: 586-731-9210. Volunteer hours are Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thank you for your interest.
