An animal shelter can be a very fast-paced, unpredictable, and oftentimes dangerous environment. Not meeting all requirements does not automatically disqualify an applicant, but will be taken into consideration.

Do you (the volunteer) meet all HSNT Essential Requirements to Volunteer? *If you select "no" please explain what requirements you cannot meet, or will need accommodations for.

Yes or No:

Yes

Humane Euthanasia

HSNT strives to help the pets and people in our community to the best of our ability. Our Fort Worth facility does offer humane euthanasia to the public as a service through our Spay & Neuter Clinic. And as a shelter, we do routinely have to humanely euthanize for extreme medical or behavioral issues. Our staff does so with compassion and love.

Do you understand, that as a volunteer and representative for HSNT, we are an organization that does humanely euthanize when necessary?

* Yes or No:

Yes

Background Check
