Volunteer time and talents are tremendous assets to the High Desert Humane Society. There are many ways you can make a difference for the welfare of the animals. You may wish to work directly with the animals at our shelter and offsite locations, or you may get involved with other important aspects of our organization's operation. Either way, it's enjoyable and extremely rewarding to be an HDHS volunteer.

Pet Food Bank donationThe Pet Food Bank accepts donations of unopened, dry or wet dog and cat food. Donations can be dropped off at the High Desert Humane dog shelter or cat house.
This program is intended for people who are unemployed, on state or government assistance, disability, or just need some extra help. If the only issue in keeping pets in their families is assistance with pet food, we are able to help with that. This program is 100% supported through donations of pet food provided by private individuals and local retailers and is subject to the availability of donated food. All brands of dry or canned dog, cat, puppy, or kitten food are gratefully accepted. We can also accept open bags of dry food as a donation. If you are able to donate a bag or a few cans of pet food, know that it will go to help someone in our very own community. For more information about the Pet Food Bank, contact the HDHS. |
service group opportunitiesWe welcome corporate, community and high school groups to schedule one-time volunteer community service events. Community service groups help offset the cost of supplies, staffing and continue to help the HDHS provide the needed care to animals that live at the dog shelter or cat house while waiting for their forever home.
Service group requests should be made with ample time to set up their group service opportunity. |
donation projectsIf you are in a youth group grades K-12, please consider an off-site project to create a positive impact on the lives of the animals in our care.
