We Need all types of Volunteers to save local pets!
Adopting and fostering are obvious ways to help, but it doesn't stop there. There are many ways you can use your interests and talents to save lives. Do you enjoy social media activity? Fundraising? Organizing and decorating? Interacting with children? All these activities are important to our mission and improve the lives of animals. You can become as active and involved as you'd like--the animals need all the friends they can get! Listed below are just a few ways to become involved.
Volunteering with Animals
Adoptions
The Humane Society holds Saturday adoption events two to three times monthly at the Statesboro Petco. Volunteers are needed to set up, walk pets, and take down these events. With some experience, you may even want to assist with adoption applications and pet placement.
Fostering
Because we do not have a building, the number of pets we save depends on the number of foster homes available. Please consider temporarily opening your heart and home--with no cost to you--to give a pet a second chance.
Community Cat Program Trapping
Our Community Cat Program is the trap-neuter-return (TNR) of free-roaming cats in Bulloch County. TNR activity can humanely end the cycle of unwanted litters and keep existing cats healthier. We supply the traps and the spay clinic appointments in Statesboro. There is no cost to you. Trappers are needed to assist in locations where no one is trapping or colony caretakers cannot physically do the trapping themselves. For more info: Community Cat Program
Cat care at Petco or at our Adoption Center
Daily cleaning, feeding, and socialization are needed to keep our adoptable cats healthy and happy until they are placed in forever homes. Morning or evening times and single or multiple days are available.
Transports
Another way we save local pets is by transporting them to other "no kill" shelters at other locations where they have a greater chance for adoption. Don't mind driving? We need you for these intra- and inter-state transports.
