Why do I have to wear a “Volunteer Badge” whenever I volunteer at the shelter?

Certain areas of the shelter are restricted to the general public, such as storage and preparation areas; however, these areas are accessible to volunteers. It is essential for volunteers to prominently display their volunteer badge, as this will inform the staff of their status.

It looks nice.

Why are foster families in such high demand for kittens and puppies that arrive at the shelter?

We hate having to deal with adorable puppies and kittens.

They need to be fed often and the immune systems of younger pets are undeveloped, making them more susceptible to common viruses.

We don’t have enough room at the shelter.

Why is it important that I login my hours whenever I come to the shelter to volunteer?

It isn’t important to us, just for your own record.

We add up the hours completed by all volunteers every month and submit them to our grant writers to win grants!
