Do you have love to spare?

Animal enthusiasts just like you make up our volunteer force. Over 150 volunteers from Lane and surrounding counties donate their time to Greenhill Humane Society. All of our volunteers share three things:

1) Compassion and responsibility for all animals
2) Consistency and reliability to help us care for our animals
3) Commitment to reducing animal overpopulation

Volunteers are the foundation of our shelter; without them Greenhill could not provide its current high level of service to our community.  All volunteers must attend an orientation session before volunteering.  You must register to attend one of the monthly orientations.  Click here to RSVP, please leave your name, phone number and area of interest.

Franz has been a kind of Renaissance man here at Greenhill. Starting out in the Kennel in February of 2006, he noticed that the Small Animal Room had a volunteer vacancy that needed filling. Although he had never worked with small animals before he jumped at the opportunity to help the little critters! Franz has been there a year and loves working with them.

Franz moved from Corvallis to Eugene in 2001, and has been here ever since. In his spare time Franz enjoys reading and playing his acoustic and electric guitars.

Franz has some advice for those looking to adopt a small animal: “They are not dogs, they are not cats. These small animals have personalities of their own; it is just that you have to be patient with them”.
