It's important to know that any donations made through PayPal are sent to our general operations fund and there is not a way to indicate if you wish for it to go to a specific cause or area within HHS.
If PayPal is your preferred donation method, you are welcome to donate and be sure to include your name and email, then send an email us to donations@houstonhumane.org and let us know that you just completed your donation and the specific cause or area you wish for it to be used for!
You can also call us at 713-713-468-8972 or send an email to wildlifeinfo@houstonhumane.org if you have any questions!
5. Why can't I find HHS Wildlife Center on my Employer's Donation Matching Site?
The Houston Humane Society Wildlife Center is a wildlife specific center within the Houston Humane Society organization, which means most employers will list us under "Houston Humane Society" only.
If you still can’t find us listed with either name, you can also use our Tax ID to look us up (74-1340341). If you would like assistance or to speak with one of our team members, please give us a call at 713-468-8972

We recommend that our volunteers receive a Tetanus vaccine, however, this is not required.
7. Do you have volunteer opportunities for teens?

8. Do you provide court-ordered community service hours?
