Avery Humane Society
Come Visit Us!
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.
We’ve got something exciting happening at the shelter, and we want you to join in! Starting April 4th, 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. Monday - Friday, from 12p.m. to 4p.m. 828-733-2333 or email her at jennifer@averyhumane.org.
