Volunteer Waiver
Volunteer Waiver
All volunteers are required to complete a waiver before participating in any shelter activities. This helps us ensure a safe and informed environment for everyone. If you haven't already, be sure to complete the waiver.
Volunteer Waiver Requirement
Volunteer Waiver Requirement
Before you are able to sign up for any volunteer shifts, you must complete the required Volunteer Waiver through your account in Sustain.
To complete the waiver, please follow these steps:
Access Sustain on a laptop or iPad via a web browser (the waiver is not mobile-friendly).
Log into your volunteer account.
Click on your profile in the top right corner and select “Profile Settings.”
Under “Prerequisites,” select the waiver form and complete all required fields.
The form includes a yes/no question — both fields are required. If one option does not apply to you, please type “N/A” in that space.
Once submitted, your waiver will be saved and you’ll gain access to sign up for shifts.
If you experience any technical issues or have questions about the form, feel free to reach out to the Volunteer Manager for assistance.
Thank you for taking this important step to keep both you and our animals safe!
Volunteer Fee
Volunteer Fee
We ask all new volunteers to submit a one-time $25 fee, which covers the cost of your official HHS t-shirt and lanyard. Payment can be made securely online.
We’re thrilled to welcome you to the HHS community and look forward to the difference we’ll make together. If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help every step of the way!
