Volunteer with The Humane Society's Pets Fur People!
Volunteers are very important to Pets Fur People!
Do you have some spare time and love animals?
Pets Fur People is in need of volunteers.
All volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation before getting started.
Once trained, volunteers can help by socializing our shelter animals and assisting with fundraising events.
Your time makes a big difference — thank you for choosing to help!
Please fill out the Online Volunteer Application or fill out and mail the pdf version of the Volunteer Application to:
Pets Fur People
P.O. Box 6151
Tyler, Texas 75711-6151
To request a volunteer application by mail, give us a call at 903-597-2471. We’ll be happy to send one your way!
Volunteers will also need to fill out and sign a Volunteer Liability Waiver.
We offer volunteer orientation on a rolling basis — just stop by anytime during our regular hours to get started! If you’re bringing a group, please call ahead so we can prepare to welcome everyone.
You'll learn about the mission, history, and goals of Pets Fur People, and interested volunteers will receive individual training on safely handling animals.
If you'd like to attend one of our Saturday group volunteer orientations, check our Events Page for upcoming dates. These sessions are fun, informative, and a great way to meet new people who share your passion for helping animals!
Thank you for choosing to volunteer — we’re excited to have you on the team!
Volunteer Age Requirements:
Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but there are a few age-related guidelines to keep in mind:
- Ages 18 and up can volunteer independently.
- Ages 16–17 may volunteer on their own with a signed liability waiver from a parent or guardian.
- Under 16? A parent or guardian must accompany you while volunteering on site.
