We are thrilled that you would consider volunteering with our organization. HSLC is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization so volunteers are the backbone of our organization. We do not have a physical shelter; all of our animals are in foster homes or display cages in a few area pet supply stores.
The first step to volunteering with HSLC is to submit a volunteer application. Once you submit an application, our Volunteer Coordinator will reach out to you to let you know about upcoming orientation dates. You can also check the events calendar for future orientation dates. We ask that all new volunteers attend a volunteer orientation, which are held every month, last approximately 1.5 hours, and are normally held on Saturdays at 1 PM via Skype.
At the volunteer orientation, we will present information about HSLC, describe all of our programs, and discuss how you can help. At the end of the session, our board members are happy to meet one-on-one with anyone who is ready to start volunteering, who wants to learn more about a specific program, or who just wants to chat about animal welfare.
