If you have a fondness for felines or a passion for pooches, the Humane Society of Northeast Texas needs you! Volunteers are needed who want to make a difference in the lives of the thousands of homeless animals our shelter receives each year. Take a dog for a walk, give a puppy a bath, cuddle with a kitty -- we'll provide the pets, you provide the love. Volunteers can also help with fundraisers, assisting customers, or providing general office support.

Volunteer orientation and training will be held Tuesday, May 5^th at 6:30 pm at the animal shelter, 303 Enterprise Street in Longview. Participants must be at least 18 years of age, complete a volunteer application, and pass a background check.

To receive an application, stop by the shelter or contact Roxanne Hutson at the Humane Society of Northeast Texas, 903-297-2170.
