Looking for volunteers with a heart
At the Heart of America Humane Society, volunteers are our greatest asset.
Without our volunteers, it would be impossible to give each animal the exercise, training and socialization it really needs to
become someone’s new pet. To provide for the animals and their special needs, our volunteers organize fundraising events and
develop partnerships with local businesses.
How can you help?
You can care for a dog or cat during an adoption event, help set up for events, transport animals from the shelter to adoption locations, become a kitty angel, or help organize fundraisers.
What do you receive from volunteering with the Heart of America Humane Society?
- Unconditional love from the animals
- Self-satisfaction for making a shelter animal’s life better
- Meet and work with new people
- Make a difference in the community
Want to help? Here’s how:
First, contact our volunteer team.
to schedule a training session.
All new volunteers are required to attend a volunteer training before volunteering.
- The Petco Store in Olathe at 135th and Blackbob, the first and third Saturday of each month at 11 a.m.
- The Petsmart Store, Ward Parkway Shopping Center at 86th at Ward Parkway, the second and fourth Saturday of each month at 11 a.m.
We are unable to accept any new volunteers under the age of 14. Volunteers between the ages of 14 thru 17 must have a responsible adult with them at all times.
