Volunteering

Naperville Area Humane Society's volunteer program is open to anyone 10 years or older with a willingness to work on behalf of cats and dogs. Kids 10 to 15 years old are welcome to volunteer as long as they have an adult sponsor to volunteer with them.

To help underwrite the volunteer program and materials, there is a $25 program fee for the first year and a $10 renewal fee every year thereafter.

We ask that you commit to a minimum of 4 hours per month for one year. The animals depend on you!

Naperville Area Humane Society has a large variety of volunteer opportunities available. With so many choices, it should be easy to find the perfect one for you!

Feeding and Cleaning of Cats or Dogs

This is a morning position starting at 8am. The nicest thing you can do for a shelter animal is provide it with a clean, comfortable environment.

Socializing & Enrichment of Cats or Dogs

Help make the shelter pets more adoptable by reducing their stress and making them happy. You will learn effective dog training techniques if you chose a dog related volunteer position.

Foster Homes

Open your home to pregnant pets, puppies or kittens that are not yet ready for adoption. You will need to be licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture through NAHS.

Outreach, Retail Events

Spread the word. Represent NAHS at various events and retail stores throughout the community or help plan events.

Pet Therapy

Make someone smile. Visit area senior centers with your own dog or a NAHS shelter dog. Your dog needs to be well behaved and current on vaccinations.

Adoption Greeter

Bring pets and people together by assisting with adoptions. Through training, you will learn how to assist potential adopters with the adoption process.

Humane Education

Teach youngsters about the responsibility of caring for animals and the love they get in return by helping with the NAHS’ summer camp, after school program, shelter tours and classroom presentations. Assistance is also need with marketing programs and developing school contacts.

A jack-of-all-trades. Greet visitors, answer the telephone, data entry and other clerical tasks.
