HSVC

Volunteer with HSVC

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer at the Humane Society of Ventura County! Please fill out the interest form on this page to receive more information about our volunteer program. Please note that this form is NOT a volunteer application. Volunteer applications are to be filled out in person at the shelter during volunteer orientation.

As a private, non-profit organization that does not receive funding from the government or national animal welfare organizations like HSUS or ASPCA, we depend on people like you who selflessly give their time to the animals and the programs that support them. Becoming a volunteer with HSVC is both a great responsibility and a privilege. We (both shelter staff and volunteers) pride ourselves on our outstanding care of animals and expect the same from incoming team members. But don't worry! We will provide all the training you will need to make this experience "pawsitive" for you and the animals!

Any questions regarding the HSVC Volunteer Program should be directed to Jennifer Grimm, Volunteer Coordinator for the HSVC. Jennifer can be reached at [email protected] or 805-646-6505 x110.
