court-mandated community service
A person wanting to volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society to fulfill court mandated community service can do so through his/her probation officer. OHS receives referrals directly from the county office or from individuals. To perform your community service at the Oregon Humane Society if you are not referred directly from the County, you will need to provide, in writing:
- Court documentation of offense
- Number of hours to be completed
- Deadline for completion
- Court contact information if possible
All court mandated community service volunteers must:
- Bring photo identification
- Complete an OHS application
Court mandated community service volunteers have no contact with shelter animals or the public. Volunteer time may be spent performing the following duties:
- Laundry
- Washing dishes
- Washing/disinfecting animal crates
- Cleaning/disinfecting animal kennels
The Oregon Humane Society does not accept those convicted of violent crimes or animal neglect/abuse crimes into this program.
