Become A Volunteer

Volunteering makes a Difference!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Oakville & Milton Humane Society. We are supported by over 400 volunteers doing more than 30 different jobs. Volunteers enable us to provide the very best care for our animals and help us provide support to the people and animals in our community.

Due to the high number of applicants that we typically receive for each volunteer opportunity, only those selected for interviews will be contacted. Thank you for your generous offer of support.
