Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley! Every day, we rely on our dedicated volunteers to help protect and care for more than 9,000 animals who come through our doors each year. From direct animal care to volunteering in our veterinary clinic or thrift shop, there's sure to be a volunteer opportunity that matches your skills and interests with the needs of the animals in our care.

Is our program for you?

We hope so! Volunteers must commit to a minimum of six months of service, contribute a minimum of two hours weekly, and be at least 15 years old to volunteer independently. Youth between the ages of 7 and 14 can volunteer with an adult age 18 or older. Volunteer teams comprised of an adult and up to two youth are called Pets and Pals teams, and the Humane Society of Boulder Valley cannot supply adult partners for this program. View our volunteer opportunities below.

Looking for a shorter term opportunity?

This includes volunteers who cannot make a six-month commitment, are looking to complete hours for school requirements or are looking to complete community service hours. Options for short-term volunteers include our Animal Care Team or learn about other ways to get involved.
