The staff and animals at the Oakville Humane Society appreciate your interest in volunteering. We would not be able to carry out the work of the shelter without the involvement of volunteers. Please refer to theVolunteer Application Form.
The foster home program exists to provide temporary care for an animal which is not yet ready for adoption, to protect very young animals from the risk of disease, to provide security and confidence to an animal who is undergoing a lengthy recovery period, or to provide socialization and training. The requirements for the foster home will vary with the animal which is to be placed. The Foster Program is administered by the Animal Health Technician. Interested individuals should request a Foster Program description and application form (and volunteer form) from the shelter. Click here for some valuable information on animal fostering.
