**Links to schedule are fixed sorry about that!
The shelter would love to have more volunteer help at the shelter.
We are at our max ability to hire anymore employees so we can only get more help by having volunteers help us.
The more help we get at the shelter the cleaner the shelter can be in all areas, the more social the animals will be, the better the animals will be able to handle their time at the shelter.
Without help from volunteers, on days when we are short staffed or having other issues that need handled at the shelter it means that the "extras" we provide for the animas-especially the dogs- like walks, one-on-one time, baths, and enrichment is skipped for the dogs. So getting help from volunteers will allow us to make sure these vital things that are really not "extra" but very much needed are never skipped.
We have created calendly links for volunteers to be able to schedule time to help us based on the volunteer's time allowance and our needs. Volunteers schedule their time in hour increments.
So you can sign up for 1 hour, 2 hours, etc whatever works for you.
So what kind of help are we looking for?
From 9-12 Tuesday through Saturday, we are cleaning. This means laundry, dishes, cleaning dog kennels, cat cages/cat house, sweeping, mopping, windows, etc.
From 12- close (5 pm Tuesday through Friday) (3 pm Saturday) is when we do our socializing, walking, bathing, yard clean up, other types of cleaning, finishing dishes and laundry, enrichment for the animals.
Mondays & Sundays 9-1 pm Is a combination of cleaning and then some socializing and other activities IF there is time.
We are also looking for office help.
10 am to 12 pm- in the mornings to do things like clean the office, help us refill folders for adoptions, clinics, and other computer-office related projects that are easy. You must be able to use a computer, a printer, and basic search and drop-down menus on programs.
12 pm to 3 pm - the afternoons to help greet people when they come in, answer the phone, do laundry, possibly some dishes, help unload donations, help put away donations, help with other office tasks mentioned above.
