In an effort to make the volunteer experience a safe, gratifying and positive one, the shelter is updating its volunteer process for volunteering at the shelter. We hope these changes will be helpful:
Existing Volunteers:
• Please check in/out with receptionist during shelter hours and staff member after shelter hours.
• Please be sure to sign in and sign out in the volunteer book.
• Staff are taking animals from the dog kennel areas and bringing them to the volunteer in the reception area; please do not take dogs out of their kennels – thank you!
• If you are a new or recent volunteer, please call ahead; a schedule is being developed so that volunteers have an opportunity to do the things they would like to at the shelter, and we are trying to coordinate volunteers to have enough coverage at peak times.
New volunteers
• If you would like to volunteer and haven’t as of yet, please stop by the shelter and pick up a volunteer application (or one can be emailed) and volunteer handbook to review.
• After your application has been processed, you will receive a welcome letter. Please call the shelter upon receiving your letter to set up a time when you would like to volunteer.
• A staff member will go over tasks to be done and how to complete them.
As always, we appreciate all help, donations and support that our wonderful volunteers provide. THANKS!!
