  • Please note that we are currently updating the video to reflect our current leadership and staff members. Click here see photos of our current team members.

Orientation Quiz

New volunteers must score at least 90% on the quiz before proceeding in the onboarding program. But don’t worry! You may watch the video as many times as you’d like and retake the quiz as many times as necessary. We want to ensure you have captured the basic information needed to volunteer. We’ll be notified by Survey Monkey when you have taken the quiz.

Step 2 - Electronic Waiver of Liability

Electronic Waiver of Liability

Once you have completed Step 1 and received a passing score on the quiz, please complete the PBHSN Adult Volunteer Waiver of Liability.

If you are under the age of 18, your parent/guardian must complete the PBSN Under 18 Volunteer Waiver of Liability on your behalf.

Step 3 - PBHSN Main Shelter Tour

PBHSN Main Shelter Tour

Now that you have completed Steps 1 and 2, you are ready to tour the Main Shelter. 

  • Location: 370 Airport-Pulling Road North, Naples, FL 34104
  • Meet in the Main Lobby

Tracey Talentino, PBHSN Volunteer Coordinator, will conduct the tour and onboarding meeting. Please sign up for an upcoming shelter tour date below:

For safety purposes, whenever you are at the shelter, please wear:

  • long, sturdy pants (jeans, khakis, cargo pants, etc.) 
  • closed-toed shoes with nonskid soles (running shoes, sneakers) 

You must be dressed as required to participate in the shelter tour and volunteer activities. This is for your safety.

Steps 4 and 5 - Electronic Volunteer Application and Background Check

Electronic Volunteer Application 

Once you have completed your shelter tour, you are required to submit your HSN Volunteer Application. If you are 18 years of age or older, your name and email address will be submitted to TopDog, a background check company utilized by HSN.

You will receive more information regarding these steps after your HSN Main Shelter Tour.

After your onboarding is complete, we will provide you with information about the next steps in your volunteer journey with Patty Baker Humane Society Naples.
