Milwaukee Volunteer Opportunities

Our volunteers are our most important asset and they do a remarkable job for the animals, the shelter and our programs. Every day, volunteers help improve the lives of animals here at the Wisconsin Humane Society Milwaukee Campus. Our volunteers help over 20,000 animals a year through fostering, dog walking, or working in our Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Our beautiful shelter allows us to provide the best creature comforts for our animals and the volunteers who interact with them.
