General Volunteer Guidelines
MHS has volunteer opportunities in all aspects of the shelter from taking care of our animals, to helping organize our events! All volunteers must complete the orientation process and animal safe handling training if needed for the volunteer role. All volunteers should have general knowledge of animal care and be able to work as part of a team as well as independently. They must be respectful of others and have good communication skills. Most volunteer roles require the ability to lift up to 50lbs and be able to stand/walk and bend/stretch for the majority of their shift.
