Volunteering at Paws Humane Society

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE LIVES & BE A HERO

Are you looking for a way to make a positive impact in your community? Look no further. Countless dogs and cats are waiting for a chance at a better life, and you have the power to save them, and have a blast at the same time.

Here at Paws Humane Society, we are not just pet lovers – we are pet savers. And our fantastic team of volunteers are the backbone of our life-saving mission. Whether you are a dog lover, a cat cuddler, or just an all-around animal enthusiast, we need your help. By volunteering your time and love, you have the power to create a happy ending for our furry friends.

Have you ever seen a dog’s tail wag so vigorously it could power a windmill? Well, it’s time to make that happen through our “Dog’s Day Out” program – the ultimate doggy day adventure. Just grab a leash, pick a pup, and spend the day exploring the world together. You’ll be amazed at the happiness you bring to these adorable dogs, and you’ll have a smile from ear to ear too. As a volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to join us at our offsite events, helping pets find their forever homes while enjoying some fun times at places like Omaha Brewing, Chattabrewchee Southern Brewhouse, or even PetSmart. On-site or off-site, we always have a tail-waggin good time.

As a beacon of hope for countless animals. We do our best to be a safe haven where these precious animals can find temporary shelter, veterinary care, nourishment and most importantly, love. However, we cannot carry out this important work without the support and dedication of volunteers like you.

In 2022, our incredible team of 212 volunteers logged a whopping 4,457 hours – over $133,000 in savings for Paws Humane. Not only are you having a blast, you are also saving us a ton of kibble money.

Volunteering at Paws is a rewarding experience which allows you to share your love for animals while making a lasting impact. Whether it’s walking dogs, socializing cats, assisting with adoptions, or participating in community outreach programs, your time and efforts will directly contribute to the wellbeing of these animals. Your presence will bring joy, companionship, and hope to their lives.

Fostering is another invaluable way to help. By becoming a foster parent, you provide temporary homes for animals awaiting adoption, allowing them to experience love, care, and security outside of a shelter environment. Fostering not only helps ease overcrowding in shelters, it also prepares animals for their forever homes by providing them with essential socialization and training. Your compassion could be the stepping stone to their forever happiness. Beyond volunteering and fostering, adopting from Paws Humane Society is the ultimate act of kindness. By opening your heart and home to a rescued pet, you are providing a second chance at life. Each adoption is a victory, not only for the fortunate animal but also for yourself. The unconditional love and gratitude you’ll receive in return is immeasurable - you’ll have a loyal companion by your side, forever grateful for the love and care you offer.

Every day, Paws Humane Society welcomes new rescues in need of love and care. By volunteering your time, fostering an animal, or adopting a furry friend, you play an integral role in saving lives and offering hope to these innocent creatures. Let us unite as a community driven by compassion, extending our hands and hearts to those who cannot speak for themselves.
