Become a part of the HSHC family
Put your will to work, and join the HSHC community of volunteers. From telephone answering to kitty cuddling to dog walking, there are activities awaiting everyone. Our “Teen Team for Paws” Volunteers can get an early start at age 15. Our oldest volunteers are in their eighties. So no excuses – if it is your will that animal welfare improves in East Texas, join in now.
Want to help your kids brush up on their reading skills? Our new Paws & Relax Reading Program helps children increase their reading skills and self-confidence by reading aloud to our adoptable dogs and cats. This benefits our adoptable animals by allowing them time to socialize with people. This program will be open year-round to children in K-6th grade. Kids may bring a book from home to read. All we ask is that you schedule your time with us in advance.
