I know I posted a really long post earlier today but just checking in again to say I'm disappointed in myself that I screwed up. I went on the Humane Society website to verify that there's a volunteer orientation tomorrow, only to learn that you have to submit an application first and then someone will contact you to invite you to be a volunteer. They said that may take several weeks. Why I didn't think to confirm all of this ahead of time I don't know. So looks like if I do volunteer there, it won't be for a while.
