Volunteering Saves Lives |
We rely on animal lovers just like you to help us with our lifesaving programs. Each year, hundreds of your neighbors donate their time and talent to help us help the animals and they get tremendous personal satisfaction from doing so. We encourage you to join us and become a lifesaving volunteer.
Our volunteers tell us they love being a part of the HSOC family. Our appreciative, friendly staff will provide you with all the training you require to succeed as an animal rescue volunteer. And the animals will provide you with unconditional love every step of your journey. |

Dog careAlthough most of our dogs are housed at the Kentucky State Reformatory through our KSR Camp K-9 program, we do on occasion house dogs at the facility that need walking and care.

EventsEvents are an important part of a non profit. They are essential to the organizations programs. Volunteers can help at events, large or small, in a variety of ways. There are many positions that go into a successful fundraiser. Our volunteer coordinator can help find the type of positions that would be a good fit for you. Many volunteers have talents that are extremely helpful to the fundraising and organization of HSOC.

Adoption CenterHSOC has an Adoption Center at Feeders Supply pet store in LaGrange. Volunteers are needed to help the Adoption Center Staff Member care for the pets that are housed there on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. This would include walking the dogs, cleaning kennels, caring and cleaning for cats/kittens and offering assistance to the Staff Member when needed.

Forever FosterSome pets that come into our rescue program simply carry a bit more "baggage" than others. They may have chronic health problems which might require an unusual amount of care, expense, they may be disabled, or they may be elderly. Foster homes open their hearts and homes to these special friends. We continue to provide veterinary care for these animals and the foster families provide the love and home.
