VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We always need volunteers to help with daily animal care and events but we also have many community outreach programs open to our volunteers!

Daily Animal Care
From snuggling to cleaning, help is always needed in our kennels! Daily needs include, but certainly are not limited too:
Socializing/Individual Time with the Cats and Dogs
Enrichment Activities
Cleaning Kennels and Living Areas
Potty Breaks (Dogs) and Scooping Litter (Cats)
Grooming
Taking Photos
Exploring our wooded Trails (Dogs)
Play Groups
Dogs have a natural desire to play. We try to allow the dog to express this as much as possible. Not only is it fun for them, but it is beneficial too! Play groups allow dogs to:
Burn Off Stress and Energy
Appear More Calm and Relaxed in their Kennels
Learn Critical Dog-to-Dog Social Skills
Become Happier, Healthier, Well-Adjusted Dogs
It's a lot of fun for volunteers, and also serves as a tool to help us better match dogs with their forever families!
Adoption Events
Muskegon Humane Society's regularly scheduled adoption events are:
PetSmart (Sherman Blvd., Muskegon) - 1st Saturday of the Month
Chow Hound (Beacon Blvd., Grand Haven) - 2nd Saturday of the Month
PetSmart (Sherman Blvd., Muskegon) - 3rd Saturday of the Month
Pet Supplies Plus (12579 Felch St, Holland,) - 4th Saturday of the Month
During adoption events volunteers allow people to meet with animals and provide them with information about the shelter. We are actively looking to expand our event team!
Dog Training
Explore the training program with our training team and learn how you can help the dogs in our care be successful in their new homes! Teach them skills such as:
Basic Manners
Increasing Confidence
Conditioning to a Home-Like Environment
Fundraising Committee
The fundraising committee is responsible for raising money for our shelter. We are 100% donation funded so this committee is vital to our survival. We are always looking for fun, creative people who can help us improve our current fundraisers or introduce new ones.
