There’d Be No Us Without You – Volunteer Today!

Our volunteers are an essential part of Berkshire Humane Society. They contribute more than 12,000 hours annually. From caring for animals to fundraising and assisting with our humane education program, our volunteer positions offer many opportunities to help our shelter. We are dedicated to improving the lives of homeless animals, and we could not fulfill that mission without our volunteers’ time and talents.

You can also apply by downloading an application to print and fill out. Please send downloaded applications to volunteer@berkshirehumane.org or stop by the shelter and drop it off. Thank you!
