The Humane Society of Delaware County is a private organization, funded entirely through membership fees, adoption fees, bequests, and donations. In addition to a caring staff, we rely on YOU - our community volunteer task force - to maintain operations. Volunteers have a hand in all aspects of HSDC, so there's always sure to be something that sparks your interest! We have event-specific volunteer opportunities and our newest volunteer program, the Behavior Wellness Program!
There are a number of volunteer opportunities at HSDC:
