Every year, more than 1,800 volunteers generously donate their time, energy, and love to the animals at Animal Humane Society. They not only introduce animals to their new families, but also help with shelter cleaning, assist in training school classes, bathe puppies, socialize shy and fearful animals, prepare materials for spay/neuter surgeries, and so much more.
During National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we celebrate each and every one of our dedicated and passionate volunteers. Meet just a few below!
Emily Weinlick
Emily has been a regular face at our Woodbury location since October and tells us about her experience in Dog Adoption Support.
Megan Vail
When Megan’s not snuggling with her Chihuahua, Joey, you can find her hanging out with the dogs at our Golden Valley location.
Michaela Hawkins
Michaela participated in our Student Volunteer Experience and now spends her time helping adopters find their new best friend.
Taryn Hurtado
Taryn is one of more than 300 AHS foster volunteers who change animals’ lives directly by welcoming them into their homes.
