    We need a volunteer consent form, would anyone be willing to share or point me in the direction to find a volunteer consent form? 
    Thanks, Connie

    This is what we use. It's at the bottom of our volunteer application (we use Volgistics to manage applicants and scheduling).

    By signing this application I agree to serve as a volunteer and to commit to the following:

    • To perform my volunteer duties to the best of my ability
    • To meet time and duty commitments and to provide adequate notice so that alternate arrangements can be made if I am unable to volunteer
    • To adhere to Neighborhood Pets' rules and procedures, including record keeping requirements and confidentiality of organization information
    • To act at all times as a member of the team responsible for accomplishing the mission of Neighborhood Pets

    I do hereby release Neighborhood Pets, its agents and representatives from any liability and responsibility that may arise in connection with my volunteer duties. I agree I am at least 18 years old and the facts contained in this application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge.

    We have ours on our website at Marqkc.org 

    We have a volunteer application and a waiver.

    We also have a liability sign in sheet when a volunteer or adopter come in to interact with animals at our facility.
