THANK YOU for your interest in VOLUNTEERING!!

 

We feel few things are more rewarding than helping homeless animals. The purr of a kitten and the appreciative look in a dog's eyes say, "Thank you" like nothing else can.

 

Volunteers are an integral part of the Humane Society for Greater Savannah. We rely on the assistance of caring, hardworking individuals to fulfill our mission to educate the community in animal welfare, socialize and integrate each pet into a “fur”ever home. Over 3,000 homeless pets enter through our doors annually.

 

The first step is submitting an online volunteer application. Click the link below to get started.  At the end of the application you are required to sign up for the "Intro to HSGS" orientation. There you will learn some of the expectations and procedures involved in animal shelter life.

 

Age Requirement: Without a guardian: 14-17. Those younger are required to have a guardian present at all times, on site or otherwise. Our Youth Ambassadors are equally important to us on the journey to ensure better animal welfare.  

 

School Community Service: 10+ hours are required to attend the orientation. Less than ten may participate in any one of our events in the community or a Single Day of Service (SDS). Check our calendar of events through the Home Page and call the number below to follow up.

 

Court-Related Community Service: You may just show up for the orientation. Please NOTE: This is separate from the Volunteer Orientation held at Savannah Hospice.  Call the number below to find out which days are offered for this service. The orientation begins at 9 am and is usually held on Wednesdays. No other day is offered for this orientation. You must make arrangements with your work or school and expect to stay for a minimum of two hours on the day of orientation.
