Volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of our animals and provide love, attention, and comfort to our furry companions as they wait at the shelter for their future families to find and adopt them.
You can provide this crucial support to the dogs and cats in our shelter in a variety of ways when you volunteer with The Humane Society of Charles County. Volunteers range from 9 years old to well past the age of retirement and help the animals both inside and outside of the shelter.
You can help in a hands-on way, such as walking dogs, fostering animals, cuddling cats, bringing animals to events, transporting animals to rescue groups, cleaning cages and helping customers find their purr-fect matches at the shelter and in our PetSmart Adoption Centers, or by taking pictures that are posted on our website so more people can see their adorable faces!
Or, if you prefer (or maybe if you're allergic) you can help with fundraising, data entry, answering phones, grant writing, professional services, internet posting and updating, coordinating events and programs, graphic design, marketing and advertising, writing the bios about the animal to be posted with their pictures, or transporting supplies, food, or other donations.

Mission Statement
The Humane Society of Charles County has the dual mission of promoting the humane treatment of animals and of fostering a respect for all life, both animal and human, through education programs.
Description
The Humane Society of Charles County had only 25 members and less than $100 when it began in 1978. Our one objective was to rescue dogs and cats hit by cars. Through the years we have grown to over 1700 families strong. Our services have greatly expanded and we are now able to shelter and rehabilitate and adopt rescued animals in our modern facility on Industrial Park Drive in St. Charles. In 1989, we expanded our dog run area from 10 to 24 runs, and in 1995, we added a larger cat area, a quarantine room with additional dog runs and cat cages, and a multi-purpose/humane education room. In March 1998, we began spaying and neutering all animals before adoption in our own spay/neuter clinic. In 2003, we began offering low cost spay/neutering services to other animal rescue groups.
