Group Volunteer Experience
Gather your colleagues, friends, and neighbors to make a difference for the people and animals that rely on DCHS. Your team will tour DCHS's Main Shelter, assist with mission critical tasks, and socialize with adoptable animals! Mission critical tasks can include: yard work (weather dependent), making enrichment items, cleaning, making cat beds, and more!
Group volunteer experiences occur on select Wednesday's between the hours of 10:00 am - 1:00 pm (depending on which option you select). We have two options available to best suit your group:

Community Volunteer Opportunities
Each year events like Brat Fest, Run Mad Town, Madison Marathon and Taste of Madison need volunteer help. The event holder will compensate DCHS for your time if you volunteer at their event and identify Dane County Humane Society as the charity you are sponsoring. Anyone can do this, sign up is easy and it’s a fun way to help animals at DCHS. You do not need to be a DCHS volunteer. You can help individually or have your friends, family or co-workers join you.
