    As a non-profit organization, funding at HAWS is always tight! That's why volunteers play such an important role. Volunteers allow us to offer high-quality care to our animals, while helping control costs. Volunteers can be found throughout our organization, from those assist with special events to those who work hand-in-hand with our staff. You, too, can make a difference in the lives of homeless animals by volunteering at HAWS. There are many rewarding volunteer opportunities available for dependable and caring people with a little free time to give.
