Are you looking for a way to make a difference for animals? We care for between 300 and 400 cats and dogs per year and we couldn’t do it without our compassionate and dedicated volunteers.
It is impossible to help every stray, but every effort we make to help homeless animals counts. Our animal friends can’t help themselves, so we need to step in.
It isn’t just about animals - it’s about people helping animals.

Give the Gift of Your Time
A reservation is required to attend volunteer orientation. No spots will be available for walk-in attendees. Parking is limited and registrants need to be checked in by the time orientation begins, so we strongly recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes early.
Volunteer Orientation Notice
There is a nonrefundable registration fee of $20.00 which will guarantee you a spot at volunteer orientation and includes a Bulverde Area Humane Society volunteer t-shirt. All attendees must have a spot regardless of whether they are volunteering or accompanying a minor. Orientation class closes when class reaches 30. Directions to the shelter can be found on our Contact Us tab.
Volunteers Matter
Imagine living in a small room with access to a small outdoor run. Dogs and cats are highly social. They thrive with interaction. The highlight of their day is when a volunteer comes to visit.
