Are you experienced with dogs and have a few hours each week to spend providing care to the dogs who temporarily call Saving Paws home?
Shifts will include let-outs to our back runs, kennel cleaning, feeding, watering, walking and socializing. As time permits you can also work with the dogs on basic commands like sit, stay, down, leave it, so they are better prepared and socialized for their new forever home.
Schedule:We have 4 shifts per day: Morning: 8am or earlier, Mid-Day: 11-1, Dinner: 3-5pm and Evening: 7-9pm.
On-boarding: Once you complete general orientation, we will partner you with a trained volunteer who will show you what to do. You will shadow that person for several shifts until you are comfortable to be on your own.
We use an on-line scheduling tool called Volunteer Matters for sign ups. The best part is you choose a time that works for you – we do not have regular open hours.
You must be 18 or older to volunteer with the dogs. If you are younger than 18, you can volunteer with an adult or guardian.
Our dog care volunteers are rewarded with wagging tails, happy barks and doggy playtime. Our dogs are always excited to see our volunteers.
Due to an overcrowding situation: We are also looking for dog lovers who are willing to foster until he or she finds their forever home.
To begin your volunteer adventure, please complete the on-line application or email us at volunteers@savingpawswi.com for further information.
