My Nonprofit Reviews

I am proud to say I am a volunteer at the Humane Society of Marion County. When you enter the facility you can see the animals are well cared for by compassionate staff. At risk dogs are often in the front office receiving extra attention, greeting visitors or sleeping in their beds. Staff in the kennels are focused on coordinating the numerous tasks that keep the dogs exercised, fed and with a safe place to sleep. But look closer and you will see small acts of kindness- a hug as they place a dog back in it's kennel, a staff member sitting on the floor of the kennel with a new , frightened dog, an extra blanket on the bed , and treats being distributed. Staff treat volunteers as members of the team and are receptive to input/ concerns we have about a particular dog. Volunteering at HSMC is an experience that is good for the soul

HSMC makes volunteering an amazing experience that fits everyone's lifestyle. The staff demonstrate compassion for the dogs & cats waiting for a forever home. Despite what must be a busy workload, the animals receive extra hugs and attention whenever possible from the staff. Volunteering is so easy. There are no restrictions on days of the week or hours of the day to volunteer- you just show up. As a volunteer you can choose how you would like to spend your time- from walking & training dogs to providing a bath to helping to keep the facility clean & neat for our animals & guests. There's a "job" for everyone. I always leave my day there feeling good for having made a difference with such a great team.
