Volunteer for the Humane Society of Indianapolis
Volunteers are very important people at the Humane Society of Indianapolis. As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers in all of our programs. You can volunteer in several ways:
Volunteer in the Shelter
The Humane Society of Indianapolis maintains an active volunteer program, an integral part of our daily operations. Our devoted team of 125-plus volunteers spends thousands of hours every year helping to care for the animals. Click here for more information.
If you need to job shadow for school credit, please contact 872-5650 x136.
The Nonie Krauss Foster Care Program
We need foster families! Our foster families care for animals that aren't ready for adoption. Most fostered animals stay in homes for two to six weeks, and include nursing mothers and their litters, young kittens, puppies, injured pets or animals needing socialization or time away from the shelter.

Youth Volunteers: Paws and Claws Club
The Paws & Claws Club allows young teenagers to volunteer their time and love to the many homeless animals at the Humane Society of Indianapolis. Click here for more information.
Volunteer For Animals
There are a number of other ways you can assist the animals and staff at the Humane Society that don't involve working at the shelter or with animals. You can even suggest volunteer ideas! Click here for more information.
