How you can help
The animals who call the HSDR home are thankful for all of its volunteers who provide their support both directly to the animals and at our many events outside the organization. HSDR volunteers assist us through activities such as canine enrichment, feline enrichment, customer service/office support, special events, housekeeping, driving and much more! In every capacity they serve, volunteers are a highly valued resource.
If you are interested in joining our volunteer team and making a difference in the lives of the animals, please review the volunteer opportunities and follow the application instructions.
