Volunteer

Volunteers Are The Backbone Of Our Organization

We don’t have paid staff so our organization runs on Tennessee Volunteers. Without our wonderful volunteers, we couldn’t do the amazing things we do for the animals of our community. To accomplish all our goals we need EVERYONE to team up with us. We hope you decide to join the Blount County Humane Society team!

Ready To Make An Impact?

We have volunteers ranging from college students to retired people. We all share the same goal of wanting to help the animals in need within our community that would have otherwise been put down. We strive to provide these loving animals with the forever home they deserve!

We understand not everyone has the time to volunteer, but if you can donate just a few dollars, that still helps us achieve our goals of saving these animals in need!

This opportunity is for the dedicated few who are able to understand the importance of a clean environment for kitties currently in our care. The intake center and cat room houses many of our newly received animals, those under observation, and those awaiting their furever home, and needs to be cleaned daily to prevent diseases and germs from spreading. If you are up for it, definitely sign up today!

DOG WALKER

Dog Walkers do just that – They walk the dogs for exercise, provide enrichment using appropriate equipment and help teach the dogs basic obedience. At times you will also interact with members of the public to help them find their new best friend and clean up after the dogs, whether outside for a walk, or in their kennels.
