VOLUNTEER

Our Volunteers are indispensable.

Since 1993 they have made The Florida Humane Society a safe, clean & loving Haven for thousands of animals in need. By lending their time, energy & talents, they have made a difference by finding loving homes for cats & dogs that would otherwise be left to fend for themselves. Volunteering at The Florida Humane Society is one o f the most rewarding experiences one could experience..

If you are at least 18 years old & have a compassion for animals, you could make a difference in a cat or dogs life and feel the reward of their love in return. Won't you help us, help the animals?
