Volunteer Requirements

It takes a special person who is willing to donate time
toward a good cause. By taking the initiative to become a
volunteer, you show your commitment to the well-being of
animals.

Thank you for your interest in donating your time to helping
the Humane Society of Decatur & Macon County! We
would love to have you become a regular volunteer and
could use your help in many ways! Volunteers must be 18
years old, attend an orientation session and have a desire
to help the Humane Society of Decatur & Macon County.
Become a Foster Parent!

Foster parents provide loving in home care to companion animals that are ill, injured or simply too young for
adoption. The amount of care a foster animal needs varies widely - from bottle feeding kittens and puppies
who need care every few hours to injured and recuperating adult animals who are fine at home all day while
you work.

Foster Volunteers are supplied with food, medication and anything else they need free of charge. All they
have to do is provide the individual care, love, and attention the animals need to recover and grow. You will,
however, need a vehicle and flexible hours to pick up and drop off animals at the office.

Once the animal is back in good health it is put up for adoption at The Humane Society of Decatur & Macon
County. These sick and immature animals are given a better chance for a healthy and long life by the
volunteers involved in this program. This is truly a rewarding way to help the animals.
