Lending A Paw
Looking to give back to the community and want to help homeless pets? Our volunteers’ dedication and hard work makes an incredible difference in the lives of thousands of homeless animals.
Volunteers are an integral part of the Humane Society of Pinellas, providing assistance to our staff and animals over 40,000 hours annually. Just like our staff and animals, volunteers are considered part of the HSP family and are valued members of the shelter team.
Volunteers dedicated to our cause participate in programs such as training our shelter dogs, bathing our animals, and coordinating events.

Long Term Adult Volunteering
Help is needed in many different areas including adoptions, animal behavior, humane education, disaster response, fundraising events, our low-cost Pet Hospital, and more! Long-term adult volunteers are asked to commit to a regular volunteer schedule of one 2-4 hour shift per week, but monthly and as needed positions are available as well. All volunteers must participate in our orientation, in which volunteers discover which program is right for them, and specific training based on their volunteer role.
Currently Recruiting Volunteers for:
The Humane Society of Pinellas does not offer court-ordered community service hours and, due to the amount of training required to work with our animals, we do not offer one-time opportunities for individuals.
