Volunteer And Save A Life!

Do you love animals? Can’t adopt or have a pet of your own? Have a bit of free time and energy to donate to helping the adorable animals that come to the Shelter find their forever homes?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, we’d love to have you as part of our Avery Humane Society Volunteer family! You’ll have an opportunity to meet like minded people and many new friends (not just the four-legged kind).

Joining our volunteer program is very rewarding. Call or email Jennifer@averyhumane.org for application or questions. For liability reasons all volunteers have to be 16 years of age. However, children 12-15 years can volunteer if with a parent or guardian who MUST stay with them at all times. We're sure you understand children cannot be left unattended in the shelter.

Please call and let us know you are coming to one of our next volunteer orientations:

Sun. Dec. 15th @12pm

Tues. Dec. 17th @ 1pm

Sun. Jan. 12th @12pm

Wed. Jan. 15th@ 1pm

Sun. Feb. 16th @ 12pm

Tues. Feb. 18th @ 1pm

Hello Rescue Readers,

With the holidays coming up and many different things going on in the shelter and the community we have decided to cancel Rescue Readers until after the New Year. We will resume our regular weekly schedule in January. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and break! We will see you in the New Year.

We’ve got something exciting happening at the shelter, and we want you to join in! We’re introducing a trial run of our brand-new Rescue Readers program. Rescue Readers pairs kids with our shelter cats for reading sessions. It’s a win-win: the cats become more adoptable, while helping the kids improve their reading skills in a fun, relaxing, non-judgmental environment.

If you know any book loving kids or kids that just want to improve their reading skills, we encourage parents or guardians to reach out to Jennifer Gregoire, our new Volunteer Coordinator, for more information. Tuesday - Friday, from 12p.m. to 4p.m. 828-733-2333 or email her at jennifer@averyhumane.org.
