The Humane Society is a unique place to get volunteer hours, and make some furry friends along the way.
With 534 voted from both Free State and Lawrence High, the Humane Society topped many other places as students favorite place to volunteer.
With the large paw prints painted on the outside and the wide variety of animals on the inside, many students go to the Humane Society to see the animals and help out.
Free State senior Brendan Phillips especially enjoys the cat section of the Humane Society.
”I really like cats,” Phillips said. “My favorite part was when [the cats] would curl up and go to sleep on you.”
