Animal Welfare Professionals

How can you get better community involvement? 

Our local humane society has been struggling to get volunteers who will come on a consistent basis and

be trained so that they are a valuable resource.  As we all know, there are standard operating procedures

that must be followed when cleaning and caring for our facility for the safety of the animals.  We put out a

Facebook post that we were in need. 

We have recently been blessed with 3 different groups of volunteers that may work for you too!

• Local Military battalion
• School club looking for a service project
• Girl Scouts - 

We are fortunate to be near a military base, their team leader is an animal enthusiast.  He has gathered together

his battalion 2 days per month to come work at the shelter.  They cut grass, wash dishes, scrub empty cages …

they are a tremendous help.  The man hours they put in leave us to do the animal care that helps to get our animals

fed/watered/bathed and meet the medical needs of those who are sick.  Their service gives us time - a valuable commodity.

 

 Not only do they volunteer for physical labor, but they have also raised donations in their workspace and purchased food

for the shelter!  WHAT a wonderful blessing!  

The military have stepped up for us in a huge way.  You may not have access to a military facility.  We have also had success

with high school clubs coming in for service project hours as well as Girl Scout troops who come in to help.

Maybe you are getting volunteers in your area from another source... PLEASE SHARE!
