The Broome County Humane Society

Volunteering Opportunities

We spend many hours a month orienting new volunteers, and only a few people return after their first day. It’s physical work and you will get dirty! We need people that will be able to provide help on a regular basis so that the time we spend with new people will ultimately be returned to the animals with long-term help.

Some examples of the help needed are:

Help with the cats – cleaning, socializing, photographing, washing dishes/litter boxes
Help with the dogs (if over 18) – walking (with 2-hour training class and weekly commitment of 2 hours), cleaning, photographing, washing dishes
General housekeeping – cleaning the bathing tub, mopping, washing windows, painting, etc.
Handyman help
Fundraising Event help
Gardening

If you want to become involved, please take a moment to fill out the Online Volunteer Application. Not sure The Humane Society is right for you? Reach out to info@bchumanesoc.com to schedule a tour!
