Register for an Orientation - The Arizona Humane Society Online

Got love to spare?

Animal lovers just like you make up our Volunteer Force. While our volunteers come from different backgrounds, they all have three things in common –

Compassion for the homeless animals in our community
Commitment to work together to create a brighter future for the animals
Consistency and reliability in helping us care for the animals and operate our programs

From working directly with the animals to helping prospective pet parents find the right companion, our dedicated volunteers make a difference at the AHS each day! Some of the areas in which our volunteers provide much-needed help include the following:

Administrative Support		Adoption and Socialization
Animal Admissions		Foster Care
Information Ambassadorship		Pet Emporium
Public Clinics		Second Chance Animal Hospital™
Special Projects		Thrift Store

To become an AHS volunteer, you must:

Be at least 16 years of age (18 to foster!!!)
Be able to give a minimum of 8 hours per month for at least 6 consecutive months

Share the love!

Are you ready to help the homeless animals in our community and become a valued member of our Volunteer Force? Here’s how to get started:

1. Choose how you'd like to volunteer.

There are two ways to volunteer with us - you can volunteer at one of our locations or you can foster animals in your home (and you can certainly do both!)

2. Register for either a General or Foster Orientation.

3. Attend the orientation you selected.

PLEASE arrive 15 minutes early; we unfortunately cannot allow late arrivals into the orientation due to the important information we review as soon as we begin.

4. Attend "Volunteer Welcome Hours".

This gives us a chance to answer your questions, start your volunteer file, and sign you up for your first shift! Dates for walk-in hours will be given out during orientation. (This step is waived for those attending the Foster Orientation.)

5. Complete the required training.

Don’t worry…we don’t expect you to magically know how to do everything when you first begin! All our volunteers must undergo training for the area in which they’ll work. More information on training is provided during orientation.

Thank you! We truly appreciate your giving your time and talent to help the animals at our shelters!
