Volunteer Application

The Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) is devoted to enhancing the lives, adoption rates and experiences of homeless cats and dogs living in Beaufort County, SC. The amount of support we can provide is limited primarily by donations, availability of rescuers and foster families as well as forever homes. HAL is all-volunteer non-profit charity and a fund of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry (CFL). 98% of our monetary donations are used to help the animals. We do not have a permanent facility. We are a small organization and most volunteers work independently out of their homes. If you are seeking more group experiences, you may want to contact the Beaufort County Animal Shelter — (843) 255-5010.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. This application should take about 10 minutes to complete.
