Humane Society's Mountain Shelter


    HSMS Volgistics is a new feature of the Humane Society's Mountain Shelter offering on-line sign-up for volunteer opportunities, checking the status of assignments, reading messages and posting volunteer hours.  For volunteers who do not have internet access, sign-up and reporting will continue to be processed through the VicNet computer at the shelter, or through manual means as in the past. 

We encourage all of our volunteers to use the Volgistics feature on-line since it enables us to be much more efficient and spend far less time assigning and updating volunteers' records.

    If you have problems with login or reporting, please contact Joe Duket, volunteer coordinator, at 770-530-2340 or via e-mail at: downstreamcaster@gmail.com.
