Volunteer

Join our community-based work supporting people and their pets in Oakland.

A dog sits next to a volunteer in a car front seat, while being transported. The dog is a beige and black mottled small bull dog mix of some kind, with a snout nose and huge brown eyes. The volunteer is a white woman with short grey hair and sunglasses, smiling.

HAPI is powered entirely by volunteers who support our community-based outreach, events, and behind-the-scenes work.

Whether you’re able to help in the field, assist with logistics, or lend a specific skill, we welcome people who value practical support delivered with dignity and respect.
