Volunteer 101

Thank you for your interest in the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society’s Volunteer Program. The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society depends on volunteers and the hard work they dedicate to our mission to serve the community through education, protection and pet adoptions. Because our volunteers play such a crucial role in the day to day operations of our shelter, we do ask for a two hour a week time commitment or a total of 8 hours a month.
