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:
Small Pack
- For groups up to 6 people
- 2 hour session, from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
- $300
Large Pack
- For groups up to 12 people
- 3 hour session, from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Community Volunteer Opportunities
Each year events like Brat Fest 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.
Madison Marathon offers participants the chance to raise funds for animals in need. Just register using code DCHS, and Dane County Humane Society will receive $5 per registration. Plus, you'll get 10% off your registration fee. Registration closes on October 30th. Learn more here.
