Animal Humane Society

Did you know you helped nearly 13,000 animals in Minnesota find their second chances last year? Your generosity makes it possible for us to respond to a wide variety of needs and ensure vulnerable animals in our community get the care they deserve. 

Whether it’s by finding a loving home, accessing affordable veterinary services, receiving training and behavior support, or any of the other vital services at Animal Humane Society, you help us make those second chances possible.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at Animal Humane Society. From cleaning dishes to bottle feeding kittens to engaging the next generation of animal lovers, so much of the work we do is made possible by the dedication and commitment of our volunteers.

In honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we wanted to bring you a closer look at what it’s like to be a volunteer at AHS and hear a few first-hand experiences from our amazing volunteers.
