About volunteering
Lend a Paw at the Drumheller Humane Society!
The Drumheller & District Humane Society (DDHS) simply couldn’t operate without our incredible volunteers. With only two part-time staff, we rely on dedicated community members like you to help us care for animals in need. Whether you’re scooping litter boxes, doing laundry, cuddling cats, cleaning kennels, helping with events and fundraising, or utilizing the other skills you have — every little task makes a big difference. Volunteers are the heart of DDHS, enhancing the quality of life for every animal who comes through our doors. Become a volunteer and make every day a little brighter for animals in care.
