Would you like to help animals find their forever family and have fun with them? We need you! This program enables volunteers to receive fundamental 'hands-on’ dog training sessions. In order to increase dogs’ chances of finding a forever family through adoption, the volunteers (Dog Ambassadors) come to the shelter at least twice a week and train these dogs on basic commands: Walk on a leash, sit, lay and come, giving them also some 'free’ time out of the kennel at the CountyPets playground.
Please visit this web site to fill out the volunteer application:

About Harris County Pets
Location:
612 Canino Rd., Houston, TX 77076, US
Mission Statement
Harris County Veterinary Public Health works in close partnership with the community to create a safe and healthy environment for people and animals.
Description
We accomplish our mission through bite case investigations, disease surveillance, animal law enforcement, stray animal control, education, rabies vaccination, policy development and registration of dogs and cats within unincorporated Harris County.
VPH is committed to providing humane, compassionate, quality care to animals in our facility. We attempt to return lost pets to their owners and strive to place as many of our unclaimed shelter animals as possible into new "forever homes" through our adoption program, the help of our rescue partners and transfers to other animal sheltering agencies.
For those animals that need a little extra "TLC" or veterinary care before they are suitable for adoption, we have a robust animal fostering team made up of dedicated staff and volunteers.
