Humane Society Volunteer Training

Passionate about animals? Want to volunteer at the shelter but don’t know how to handle some of the more rambunctious dogs? This training is just for you. ALL TRAINING LEVELS WELCOME!

• Level 1: First time volunteering with us? Complete and submit volunteer entry form first on our website: https://www.thomasvillehumane.org/volunteer. Required paper application form and waiver will be completed upon arrival before orientation begins. Please be on time!
• Level 2: Registered Volunteers have watched the introductory video and are ready for hands-on training on how to safely approach, handle and leash the animals.
• Level 3: Registered experienced volunteers have watched the introductory video, learned how to get the dogs out of the kennels safely and have walked dogs at our shelter.

Please remember every volunteer under the age of 16 needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Must wear closed-toe shoes. No sandals or flip flops! Donations of small training treats are always appreciated.

IMPORTANT: To confirm your attendance, please call TTCHS at 229-228-0613 or send them an email. *Facebook event page attendees will not be registered unless they have contacted TTCHS.*
