Get Involved

Give time:

The Spokane Humane Society is looking for someone that is experienced in gardening and would like to volunteer to work at the shelter planting and cleaning up what is here! We would love to have a club if there is a garden club who has extra time and energy to give to us. The nicer our place looks, the more people will stop in, the more animals that are adopted and saved!

Please call 995-4542 for more information regarding our needs. Thank you so much for considering us!

The Spokane Humane Society is overseen by a board of 12 directors that meets monthly. If you're an SHS member, you are eligible for nomination.

You could also serve on one of our event committees: Tux & Tails (a black tie dinner and auction), Parade of Paws (a dog walk fundraiser), or a variety of other social projects designed to support our mission. And we're always working on all kinds of projects beautifying the grounds, developing the memorial garden, taking pets out into the community, educating children about animals, and lots more. Whatever your interests, we've got just the job for you. Contact our outreach coordinator, Dori Peck at (509) 467-5235 ext. 11 or dpeck@spokanehumanesociety.org to learn more.

Give yourself a lifetime income
You can supplement your income and receive an immediate charitable tax deduction by completing a charitable gift annuity with the Spokane Humane Society. This is a very satisfying way to help the Humane Society end animal neglect. Call Dean Thoreson, financial representative, at (509) 534-4766, ext 25, for more information. His email address is dthoreson@foresters.biz.

Give at the office
Consider supporting the Spokane Humane Society through an automatic payroll deduction system you set up at your office. It's easy, convenient, and particularly effective with those generous employers who match their employee gifts.

To enroll, see your human resource or payroll department.

Give a home:
Everything we do is meant to accomplish one goal: give all the animals that come to us a forever home. Meet our pets and see if one is right for you and your family.
