Description

Want to join a dedicated team changing the lives of homeless pets in our community? Sign up for an upcoming information session. Want to get involved in changing the lives of homeless pets? Come join us for our next in person orientation. You'll get a tour of our shelter, Camp Pawsawhile, an overview of how we provide care, and how you can make a difference for our pets. YOU MUST WEAR CLOSED TOE SHOES! Some Quick FAQ's: How long is a shift? We run shifts twice a day, seven days a week. You sign up to work in one of our units - Cottage for small dogs, Kennels for big dogs, Cattery for our felines. Shifts normally take about 2 hours, but go faster as you learn where everything is and have others to help you. How old must I be to volunteer? We welcome all youth and families to volunteer. Youth under high school age may volunteer with a parent. High schoolers may volunteer on site after attending an orientation with a parent. What is my commitment? We do not have a minimum set number of shifts you must commit to, but we do request that you sign up for your first shift at your orientation. You will sign up as a shadow for your first three shifts so that you will work alongside another volunteer or staff member to learn the ropes. What do I do during my shift? Volunteer duties will include providing fresh food and water for pets, scooping litter boxes, picking up after dogs, washing runs, disinfecting litterboxes and food and water dishes, socializing (playing) with cats and walking dogs. All volunteers are required to wear closed-toe shoes and should wear clothes that can get dirty (many volunteers prefer rain boots for working in the kennels).
