Volunteers will rotate through and enjoy multiple activities while on site. Activities may include: hands on interaction with adoptable dogs, socializing furry friends, providing in-kennel enrichment projects to include making blankets, toys and treats to benefit the pets that AHS cares for.

The Arizona Humane Society’s mission is to provide every pet with a good life. With a vision to end animal suffering, they rescue, heal, adopt and advocate for sick, injured and abused animals.  As a modern open admissions shelter, the Arizona Humane Society sees many difficult cases and tries to save as many animals as they can. For those they can save, they are blessed with many miracles…and the joy of pets.

*This opportunity falls during the 2020 Beyond Flexner Conference.*
