Do you have a knack for photographing pets at their best? Can you write a short profile of a pet that captures their cuteness and personality? Use your own digital camera to take photos of our adoptable cats, dogs, and small animals and write a brief pet profile for listing the pet on HSSV’s website. In many instances, a great picture and profile are all that's needed to help find a loving family for a deserving animal. Photographers should be comfortable handling animals. Shifts are 3 hours and start times vary based on individual availability.

Mission Statement
To provide a safe haven to shelter and care for the abandoned, abused, or unwanted animals within Skagit County; to treat the animals with dignity and respect; to place these animals into loving and caring homes; to create public education programs that increase the awareness of humane treatment and the necessity of spay and neuter of all animals; and to coordinate resources for housing and placement of small animals evacuated during disaster.
Description
The Humane Society of Skagit Valley is a non-profit organization founded in 1974 to provide a safe haven to shelter and care for the abandoned, abused, or unwanted animals within Skagit County; to treat the animals with dignity and respect; to place these animals into loving and caring homes; to create public education programs that increase the awareness of humane treatment and the necessity of spay and neuter of all animals; and to coordinate resources for housing and placement of small animals evacuated during disaster. We are not a county or city municipal shelter, although we do contract with Skagit County and several cities to provide services to them. We are a private non-profit shelter that relies heavily on fundraising events throughout the year as well as donations and gifts left to us in wills. We truly appreciate the generosity of our community members as well as the amazing efforts of our volunteers at the shelter and at our fundraising events.
We are an open-admission facility and accept any companion animals who need our care. We see over 2500 animals pass through our shelter each year. We provide care, comfort, and medical care to the animals that come through our doors including animals that have extensive medical needs.
