Volunteer
Volunteering can be easy with ODHS. We offer community service hours, hours for work projects and even partner with many Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts groups. Anyone can come volunteer at our adoption events, but if you would like to come volunteer on your own, you will need to complete an orientation.
Volunteer Training
All volunteers must complete an application, sign a waiver and participate in a volunteer training session.
Once you complete the application it will be reviewed and you will be invited to an upcoming training.
*Plan for training to be about two hours and dress appropriately as it will be hands on.*
