Welcome to the Humane Society of Midland County Orientation Website. We are so excited that you are considering joining us as a volunteer. Our organization relies heavily on our volunteers to help us operate.

​

A few things to note before getting started 

​

-Volunteers must be 10-15 years of age to volunteer with a parent or guardian or 16 years of age to volunteer independently.

​

-Any minors that go through this orientation must also have a paper waiver signed by a parent or guardian. This can be found at the shelter or under the FILE SHARE on this site. It is listed as the "Volunteer Agreement and Waiver".

​

-We do accept court ordered community service volunteers 18 years of age or older on a case by case basis but there is a separate process for these volunteers. Please call the shelter at 989-835-1877 if this is the case, but do not proceed with the online orientation.

​

- Important documents such as the volunteer waiver for minors, code of conduct, volunteer guides, and other documents can be found under the File Share tab.
