Cache Humane Society

Volunteer Opportunities

Our shelter runs on volunteers! With an average of 100 animals in shelter, we always need the extra hands. Not only is volunteering a fun way to help many homeless pets in need, volunteering is a fundamental role that takes on many shapes and forms. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Check them out below!

Doggy Day Trip Volunteers

Our Doggy day trip volunteers take shelter dogs on trips around Cache Valley. These day trips offer our shelter dogs a chance at adventure and extra exercise. There is no time commitment to be part of our doggy day trip program and this opporutinity is great for individuals who cannot commit to a weekly volunteer shift. Click the button below to sign up to be a Doggy Day Trip Volunteer!

Volunteers should:

  • • Be a minimum of 18 years of age
  • Be prepared for  the presence of pet dander and hair particles in the air and on all surfaces, including cars
  • • Be prepared to clean up after the dog they take on a day trip
  • • Only take dogs to places that are pre-approved

Volunteer Animal Care Corps

Volunteer Animal Care Corps are offered a unique opportunity to build their resume while learning how to help animals in a shelter setting.
