Event Volunteers

Flexible Schedule | Whitestown, IN 46075

We always need assistance with our events! If you would like to help with events, please fill out an online volunteer application: https://www.hsforbc.org/volunteer.html We have several monthly events and adoption events and several large fundraising events per year. We always need help setting up our booth/table, breaking everything down and in between: selling our T-shirts & merchandise, crowd control when we have adoptable dogs/cats, and running our kids games/spin-the-wheel trivia game and more!

Foster cats, kittens, dogs, puppies with HSforBC!

Flexible Schedule | Whitestown, IN 46075

Foster care is needed for all types of cats & dogs; you must be able to provide secure housing, daily care, transport to some vet appointments and to bring your foster pet to events. With limited capacity at the shelter, HSforBC relies on foster care volunteers to house pets in need. Medical care for the pet is covered by HSforBC, and most supplies, including pet food can be provided to assist you in fostering.

Dog Care at the Shelter

Flexible Schedule | Whitestown, IN 46075

Dog care consists of two shifts, 7 days per week. Morning shift has a flexible start time of 7am to 9am. Evening shift has a flexible start time of 5pm to 7pm. Dog care shifts are generally 2 to 3 hours of cleaning kennels, feeding, walking, playing in the fenced play yard and loving on dogs! We usually house 7 to 10 dogs at the shelter - the rest are in foster! We ask for a minimum commitment of 1 shift per month. Most volunteers do more! It's an easy way to help your local animal shelter! Dog care training: 3 to 4 training sessions of 2 to 3 hours each before being released. After release, you are encouraged to sign up for shifts with seasoned volunteers until you feel comfortable. We offer continued training with our dog leads on positive reinforcement training techniques, clicker training, and reading dog body language. All volunteers working alone must be 18 years or older for dog care. Teens 14 years and older can volunteer with their parent/guardian.
