What does it take to run an animal shelter taking in more than 4,000 pets each year? Step behind the scenes at South Suburban Humane Society and find out! We’ll visit and tour the 19,000 square foot SSHS animal resource campus and take a peek at everything that goes into its daily operations. Cap off your experience by lending a helping hand with dog walking, cleaning, and assisting with other important tasks that keep the shelter running. Sign up today to make a difference while spending time with some amazing animals!

Out of respect to our volunteers, please be sure you can attend the programs you sign up for. Confirmation calls or text messages are made 48-72 hours prior to every program. If you do not respond to our confirmation call within 24 hours of the program, a student on the waiting list will fill your spot. If a student is a "no show" for 2 or more programs, they will be automatically placed on the waiting list for other programs they have signed up for during that semester. 48 hours notice is required for all cancellations.
