Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of the Northumberland Humane Society. Whether you're helping with animal care, events, or at the thrift store, your time makes a real difference.

If you’re passionate about animals and want to give back to your community, we’d love to have you on our team. Apply today!

Help support our mission by donating gently used items to our thrift store or making a financial contribution to help cover the cost of food, veterinary care, and shelter operations.

Together, we can create a better future for animals in Northumberland County.

Our Amazon Wishlist makes it easy for you to purchase items needed most at the shelter—like food, toys, and cleaning supplies—and is another great way to directly support the animals in our care.

Every gift, big or small, helps save lives.

Choosing to adopt a pet from the Northumberland Humane Society means giving an animal a second chance at a happy, healthy life. Every dog, cat, or small animal in our care is looking for a loving home — and when you adopt, you’re making room for another animal in need.

By adopting, you’re not only gaining a loyal companion, you’re also supporting a community that values compassion, care, and responsible pet ownership.
