Our Volunteers
It takes a real animal lover to become a volunteer at the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society!
Our volunteers take on some hard work. You can imagine the cleaning that goes on at our facility. Our volunteers keep our place spic and span. We have dog walkers and cat comforters to help our animals enjoy their stay with us.
Like any other organization we also have a mountain of office work to do. Our volunteers help us with all of these tasks and more. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Jane Balmer at (contact info), print our PDF form, or complete an online Volunteer Application.
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month!
