Volunteers
Talbot Humane cares for over 1,200 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and small animals each year. We would not be able to give these animals the quality care they deserve without the help of our dedicated volunteers. If you would like to 
contribute your time, compassion, and special skills to Talbot Humane, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susan Langfitt, at (410) 822‐0107 or info@talbothumane.org
Getting Started!
All volunteers are required to fill out and submit a volunteer application before they begin volunteering with Talbot Humane. Once we receive your application, the volunteer coordinator will contact you to set up a time for you to attend a volunteer orientation. Attendance at a volunteer orientation is a requirement for all new team members prior to beginning your service with our organization.
Volunteer Orientation
Volunteer orientations are held monthly in groups of 10 ‐ 12 and are by RSVP only. This meeting gives you an overview of the program and volunteer opportunities, information on policies and procedures and a tour of the facility. Once you have attended this orientation, you will be connected with a volunteer mentor who will show you the ropes for your areas of interest.
If you are interested in attending a volunteer orientation, please submit your volunteer application, we will contact you soon! Questions? Feel free to contact our volunteer coordinator, Susan Langfitt, at info@talbothumane.org or (410) 822-0107.
Talbot Humane Junior Volunteer Program-(Volunteers Grades 6-12)
Talbot Humane is a very popular destination for students wanting to earn service learning credits or simply give back to the animals of our community. Our Junior Volunteer Program engages the students through our tier system. Students will learn many different aspects of what it takes to run an Adoption Center, from sweeping floors to bathing dogs! Students who move through the tiers earn the privileges of handling and working with animals, participating in community events and more. We encourage juniors to apply early, spaces fill quickly each year and there is often a waiting list. If you are interested in joining our Junior Volunteer Program, download the Junior Volunteer Program Application or contact us info@talbothumane.org or (410) 822-0107.
