Volunteering

Volunteers are needed for several different reasons. There are things we cannot accomplish in a days work & things we cannot afford to do.

Dog Walkers

Exercise is crucial for shelter animals. If you are interested in becoming a dog-walker at the shelter please stop in Tuesday-Saturday from 11am-3pm and fill out a volunteer application.

Requirements to become a dog walker are:

  • Applicants are required to attend a (1) day orientation.
  • Applicants under the age of 12 years must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Orientation is at 11:00am on the second Saturday of each month.

Transporters

Now that the shelter has established it’s Spay & Neuter Program prior to ownership, all animals that are age appropriate & intact must be transported to Dr. S. Borter of Bloomfield Vet Clinic or Dr. Royal in Oden. Most transports will occur before 8:00 A.M. Monday – Friday. It is the responsibility of the shelter to have the animal(s) delivered pre-surgery,and the new owner will pick up the animal post-surgery.

A Volunteer for this service should have:

  • Reliable transportation
  • A vehicle that can accommodate safe & comfortable transport.
  • A valid driver’s license & clean driving record

Fostering

It is inevitable that our shelter will receive elderly, ill, lame or pregnant animals & from season to season experience the need to de-populate due to the spread of contagious disease.

At these times the need for Foster Homes is always wanting.

Animals with special needs fair better in an environment low on stress and big on love.

Special attention to these animals can make all the difference in their recovery.

If you are interested in becoming a Foster Home for a special dog or cat in need you will need to accomplish the following & fulfill these requirements:

  • Visit the shelter & fill out a Foster Application.
  • Expect a in home visit conducted by Shelter Manager or Animal Control.
  • To provide adequate shelter & fresh food & water daily.
  • Be prepared to support the animals needs both financially & emotionally.
  • Know that the animal with special needs in your care may or may not be short-term.
