Volunteering at a Dog Wash is a blast!

Interested in volunteering with the Leon County Humane Society's Dog Wash Fundraisers?

Dog Washes are held every 2nd Saturday from April- October in LCHS' shady backyard from 10:00AM- 2:00PM. 60+ Volunteers are needed per day to help wash/ dry, flea dip and FURminate 120+ dirty dogs per event! If you LOVE DOGS, enjoy being outdoors, and getting down and dirty then this fast paced event is for you!

Unlike our other volunteer opportunities, Dog Washes are open to the public (those 12 years of age and older) and do not require an orientation. Our highest need for volunteer assistance at our Dog Washes are between the months of May- August (when school is out of session).

Event Dates:

• May 9th
• June 13th
• July 11th
• August 8th
• September 12th
• October 10th

Event Shifts are:

• 9:20AM- 12:30PM
• 12:00PM- 3:00PM,
• Or all day for the brave. :)

Volunteer Roles:

• Dog Washers
• Dog Dryers
• Doggie Greeters (Check-in)
• FURminators (15 minute grooming sessions with the FURminator brush)

Proceeds from the Dog Wash Fundraisers support LCHS' animal medical fund, and the homeless pets in our care.
