Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Joplin Humane Society!

Your Support Makes a Difference!
Volunteers play a vital role at Joplin Humane Society, helping animals at the shelter, at events, or even from home. We’re grateful for our dedicated volunteers who impact both pets and people every day.

You must be 16 or older to volunteer without a guardian.
All volunteers, including children, adults, and caretakers, must submit an application.

What about kids?
Juniors (ages 10-15) can volunteer with a parent or guardian. (See Volunteer Manual for additional details.)
Children under 10 can join our Shelter Pals Program (ages 6-15), which fosters compassion and helps develop reading skills in a supportive environment.
For questions, contact Volunteer Manager, Chloey Hensley, at [email protected] or call 417-623-3642 x120.
