How to become a shelter volunteer: 3 Steps!
You must complete the volunteer orientation and fear-free certification before volunteering with us.
STEP 1: Complete Fear-Free Certification
The goal of the Fear Free Shelter Program is to improve the experiences of animals by educating shelter, rescue, and animal welfare employees and volunteers, like you, about their emotional needs. The Fear Free Shelter Program is approximately five hours long and can be completed all at once or over a period of time.
Please see below for instructions to complete our Fear Free Certification Course
When registering for Fear Free Certification, attach the downloadable “Proof of Volunteering” form below to certify your program registration.
*Once we’ve received your volunteer application, our staff will reach out to schedule your orientation!
Questions can be emailed to volunteer@forsythhumane.org! We look forward to welcoming you to our program.
