Volunteer

As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers in all of our programs. The Humane League offers many opportunities for interested individuals to gain experience working with animals, learn more about animal welfare issues, and work with other animal lovers to improve the lives of animals in our community. Volunteers can work directly with the animals, or support the work of the shelter through raising money, educating the public, or providing administrative assistance.

Volunteers are asked to make a commitment of 2 hours/week for 6 months or 4 hours/month for a year to work with the animals. We also encourage all of our volunteers to become members. As a Humane League member, you will receive Paw Prints, our printed newsletter, and discounts to participating, animal-friendly businesses.

Due to the generously donated time and assistance of volunteers the shelter can offer many high quality programs and services to Lancaster County pets and residents!
