Opportunity Details

Spruce up Dog Walking Paths & Add Play Equipment at OHS (age 12+) *Hands On*

Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

Put your gloves on and lend a hand to the Oregon Humane Society! Help us install new play equipment for our dogs (ramps, tires, etc.), as well as spread cedar chips on our dog walking path, prune bushes, move dirt and level ground, create new paths, weed, plant native plants, remove debris and invasive species (like ivy, blackberry, thistle and scotch broom) to keep our grounds clear and comfortable for both dogs and walkers alike.

Volunteers should bring gloves if you have them, as well as a water bottle. And please dress for the weather, as we will be outside! Oregon Humane Society requires all volunteers to wear long pants and closed toe shoes.

NOTE: Our parking lot is often filled during prime weekend hours. There is street parking available along NE 11th Ave, off of Columbia Blvd. and across the street in our overflow lot. The shelter does not open until 10, so a representative of the shelter will meet the group at the main entrance of the building to let the group in, so please be on time!

The Oregon Humane Society’s mission is to foster an environment of respect, responsibility, and compassion for all animals through education, legislation, and leadership; to care for the homeless, to defend the abused, and to fight with unrelenting diligence for recognition of the integrity of all animals.
