You can make a difference in your community and help homeless animals.

For those of you interested in volunteering at a animal shelter I say go for it.  You can make a difference.  There are many benefits to volunteering at a shelter.  You can be part of the solution.

As a volunteer myself I can safely say there is a job for everyone.  By volunteering you make the jobs of everyone there a little easier by giving a helping hand. 

The animals will love you.  They love and long for the attention.  Being walked or loved on means a lot to these pets.  You will definitely make a lot of new four-legged friends and you will enjoy happy tails for free!

 I am a volunteer at the Joplin Humane Society.  I love when I get to help.  The staff appreciates you and the animals that get used to seeing you do too.  

How do you find out about volunteer opportunities?  Go to the shelters website or call the shelter.

This is Henry he has been at the Joplin Humane Society shelter for a while.  He is one of my favorite dogs at the shelter.  He gets so happy to see you and so happy to go out to the bathroom or go for a walk.   I would easily add him to our family if I did not already have 4 dogs.  He is so sweet and is such a good dog.
