Volunteer Application

Dear Potential Volunteer, Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Columbia County Humane Society’s volunteer team! Volunteers help the animals at the Humane Society get adopted through a variety of work efforts. These efforts include animal care, socialization and fundraising. If you join our team, many successful adoptions will take place due to your care and compassion. The shelter and the animals are not alone in receiving benefits from our volunteer program. A few of the many benefits a volunteer will receive include: satisfaction in knowing you’ve helped a life, gained experience in working with animals, meeting new people and helping forge change for future generations through education. Sincerely, Columbia County Humane Society
