We appreciate your interest in volunteer opportunities at the Humane Society of Cobb County. We are a no kill, non-profit organization. We do not get any city, county or state funding. The facility is run on donations, bequests, and grants and through fund raising efforts. We house mainly cats, kittens, several exotic/pocket pets, and only a few dogs at a time which are always small breed.

Below you will find various activities that require volunteer time. Please download and return the volunteer profile form and return it by email. We will then notify you of the next orientation date. These orientations last about 30-45 minutes. You must attend an orientation prior to volunteering. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule.

We have orientations once a month generally on a Saturday at 10AM.

• Please refrain from bringing children under the age of 18 with you to volunteer, or to orientation.
• If you have a high interest in working hands on with dogs, contact Cindy Ganus at Cobb County Animal Control 770-590-5621. They house over 200 dogs.

Below is a list of areas that we need help in:

Cleaning & Maintenance:

• 10:0AM until 12PM is when our cleaning occurs, seven days a week.
• We clean cat cages, groom, feed, water, wash dishes, do laundry, dust, sweep and exercise the special animals.
• Help with yard work is also needed such as cutting the grass, pulling weeds, trimming hedges and watering plants.

Banks:

• New banks can be placed in just about any business.
• You can help us find new locations and change banks out on a regular basis. You could also pick up other banks,
• count the money and deliver it back to us. This is done 2-3 times a year.

Education Committee:

• We always need help with these important programs.
• Help us present educational programs to our youths in elementary schools, middle schools, day care centers,
