As
an RCHS volunteer you may work in the shelter, at home, or the
community. You may choose to help with a single event, or to commit
a couple hours a week on an ongoing basis.
Volunteers
are needed to assist in a variety of tasks. All volunteers must
be over 16 years of age and attend a training session and an orientation
meeting. (anyone wishing to volunteer
under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)
Bathing
and Grooming:
Bathers and groomers work with animals in our adoptable
wards. Cats and dogs are brushed, bathed and treated for fleas
as needed.
Pet
Socialization:
Walk a dog...cuddle
a cat! The Humane Society depends on volunteers to walk and play
with our friendly, adoptable pets. Regular play time provides
exercise and relief from stress, and is a great way to interact
with our homeless pets.
Special
Projects:
The shelter
often has need of volunteers with special skills, such as carpentry,
plumbing, gardening (weeding, trimming shrubs, mowing), painting,
janitorial work, laundry, building maintenance, and data entry.
Special
Events:
You can get
involved without ever having to visit the shelter by helping out
at Special Events. Volunteers with a wide variety of skills are
needed on a regular basis, such as at the Giant Garage Sale in
May, Kitten Shower, Bark in the Park, A Fetching Ball as well
as a variety of other activities throughout the year.
