Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Humane Society of Oakville, Milton & Halton! Our amazing team of 300+ volunteers help to keep things running smoothly every day. Whether they’re caring for animals at the shelter, working at our thrift store, fostering pets, or supporting our fundraising events, they make a lasting impact. Their compassion and commitment allow us to care for both animals and the people who love them.
Most of our volunteer roles are for adults 18+, though we do offer youth opportunities through our Leader-in-Training summer camp program and Humane Heroes teen program.
Age: Most roles are for those ages 18 and up.
Commitment: We ask for at least one year of volunteering.
Shifts: Many positions involve one scheduled shift per week, usually about two hours. Some roles, like our Thrift Store, may require longer shifts. Others are on a call-in or as-needed basis.
Screening: All volunteers must complete a police check, and some roles also require a vulnerable sector screening.
