Volunteer Application

Check all the areas you have an interest in and want to learn more about.

Have you ever volunteered with a shelter or had any relevant animal experience we should know about?

What made you choose us to volunteer with? If you are volunteering to fulfill school or court ordered community service, please list specifics on the reason and how many hours you need in what amount of time. We can only accept a certain number of tracked hour volunteers so this lets us know right away if we will be able to help you with those hours.

Have you convicted a felony in the last 7 years?

Do you have any limitations when it comes to physical tasks or animal interactions?

In case of emergency, please list the name and number of someone we should contact on your behalf.

HSAR feels it is important for all volunteers to have a Tetanus and Rabies vaccination. I release HSAR from all responsibility of any accidents that may occur and understand whatever decision I make is at my own risk. Please write you're name and date that you have read and understand this.
