  • Paws Claws & Corks is an annual gala to benefit the Humane Society of West Michigan. This evening of glitz and glamour features beer and wine tastings, small bite tasting booths from local restaurants, live and silent auctions, and an opportunity to support the nearly 3,000 animals cared for by the shelter each year.

    As a volunteer, you will be helping support animal welfare across West Michigan! Volunteers are expected to do the following:

    • Arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled shift
    • Stay for the duration of their shift(s) and stay at their assignment station
    • Conduct themselves in a polite and professional manner
    Please note, volunteers are expected to only stay for their scheduled shift. If you would like to stay for the entire event, please sign up for consecutive shifts. Volunteer sign-ups do not include a ticket or seat for the event program.

In Support of Humane Society of West Michigan
Humane Society of West Michigan, a 501(c)3 non profit organization, assists over 8,000 animals annually. We are 100% donor-funded! We receive no funding from the government or national animal welfare organizations. Caring individuals and businesses in our community support our mission to rescue hurt, abused and abandoned animals and find them a new forever home. Additional programs help reduce pet overpopulation, provide assistance to low income pet owners, behaviorally assess animals and reunite lost pets with their owners.
