Dogs must pass a canine good citizen test and health exam. At least one visit per month is required to be an active volunteer in this program. Trained volunteers take animals to pet stores, special events and other locations out in the community to facilitate adoptions. They work with our adoptable animals and the public. Trained volunteers and master gardeners teach empathy to children from violent homes and communities through learning to nurture plants and farm animals.
Programs run weekly from nine weeks up to one year.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. All volunteers are required to fill out an application form, attend a general orientation and may need additional training depending on their area of service. Yes, I want to volunteer for the Humane Society of Sonoma County. Please send me an application.
