I WANT TO VOLUNTEER

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Humane Society of Sheboygan County. We are supported by over 100+ volunteers doing more than 10+ different jobs. Volunteers enable us to provide the very best care for our animals and help us provide support to the people and animals in our community.

Volunteers are essential to everything we do! Shelter volunteers provide hands-on animal care such as grooming, exercising, kennel cleaning, general housekeeping, and socializing the animals. Other volunteer opportunities include off-site adoption events, office work/data entry, fundraising events, humane education and pet visits to local schools or organizations, and committee work.

Fostering FAQs

Foster care continues to be a critical piece of our lifesaving efforts. When an animal is too young, sick, injured or just needs someone to teach them basic manners, foster parents help fill the gap between the time the animal is brought to the shelter and the time they are adopted. Our foster program helps us save more lives!

Download our foster application by clicking the paw print. To submit your completed application, please email it to [email protected], fax to 920-208-2204, drop off at the shelter between 8am-4:30pm, or mail to 3209 N. 21st St, Sheboygan, WI 53083.

Under 16 Volunteer Opportunities

We understand that most youth have varying maturity levels. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to appropriately assess these differences and thus our policy is to limit our volunteer program to those 16 years of age or older. Young people can engage in animal welfare issues and the work of HSSC through other activities. Please click the pawprint to explore opportunities.
