Humane Society of Huron Valley voted "Best Place to Volunteer"

Thank you, volunteers! We couldn't do what we do without you!

Volunteer Karen Jamrock with dogAnn Arbor, MI (July 11, 2018) The Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) was announced as the “Best Place to Volunteer” in the Ann Arbor Family Press “Ann Arbor Family Favorites” awards for the third consecutive year.

Community members mailed in and submitted their ballots earlier this year in a variety of categories.

“We’re over the moon with this award,” says Tawn Hinze, HSHV’s Volunteer Manager. “Last year alone, our volunteers donated over 113,000 hours to help the animals in our community, and it means the world to us that they enjoy their experience here—because frankly, we couldn’t be the lifesaving place we are without our amazing volunteers.”

HSHV currently has nearly 1,700 active adult volunteers, and over 530 junior volunteers (age 12-17), participating in activities from cat comforting to dog walking, cleaning to administrative tasks, foster parenting and off-site tabling.
