Volunteer
The Bowling Green Warren County Humane Society has an OPEN volunteer program, which means you do not have to schedule your volunteer time unless you are with a group (6 or more people). After you submit the application below, come by any time we're open to get started! 

Your time and compassion help us in countless ways, whether it's giving a shy cat some loving attention, taking a shelter dog on a much-needed walk, or even helping with a load of laundry! We're incredibly grateful for every hour of help our volunteers provide. It makes a huge difference!

Foster
We love our amazing foster family. Each year, our number of fosters grows and so does the amount of lives saved!

Fosters typically stay for 4-6 weeks, but any amount of time will help and is appreciated! Every foster that graciously opens up their home means one more enclosure at the shelter is freed up to save additional lives.

Transport
Working with rescue groups throughout the country saves thousands of our shelter's pets every year. We are constantly arranging transportation for these pets. Most long transports are broken up into "legs", which means that volunteers take shifts driving, so you would not be responsible for driving the entire way.

Most transports are done on the weekends, so if you would like to get involved in this amazing effort please email Deana Wehr, our Rescue & Transport Manager at [email protected]

Special Events
Our shelter is very active in the community, and we have special offsite events at least once a month. We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with these events. They can range from handing out wish lists to customers at Walmart to helping with adoption events! If you are interested  in helping with our special events, please complete a standard volunteer application and then shoot us an email at [email protected] letting us know that you are willing to help.
