The {Buzz_Rescue_Name} is an extremely high volume animal facility. Cleaning, raking, helping with various projects, and a myriad of other activities keep our volunteers moving! Filing paperwork, answering phones, or greeting potential new parents is a constant job. We always look for volunteers to assist us with special events such as Le Chien, education programs and our Annual Spring Luncheon. Join us and let us know your interests and skills.. Your time and talent truly make a difference in the lives of our beautiful animals. Interested in fundraising events, please fill out a Volunteer Application.
Early each morning, our dogs are walked on our desert trail. Volunteers assist in walking dogs and rotating dogs to our play areas. During the summer when the temperature soars, our dogs need to be walked early. Throughout the day, dogs are moved from their kennel to one of our four playpens to allow them exercise time. If you're interested in volunteering as a dog walker, you need to be in good physical health, have some experience working with dogs, and be able to arrive at the {Buzz_Rescue_Name} at 8:00 a.m. in the summer, and 9:00 a.m. in the winter.
Animals crave companionship. If you're interested in just spending time with our dogs, this is the perfect volunteer opportunity. Playing fetch, scratching a tummy or just spending time with the dogs is an important component in their lives. Our cats enjoy companionship as well.
At the {Buzz_Rescue_Name}, our animals are lovingly cared for. Bathing and grooming is done daily. Volunteers work in concert with our staff to bath the dogs and brush both dogs and cats. In conjunction with area dog salons, the {Buzz_Rescue_Name} dogs visit a professional groomer monthly. Volunteers assist in loading dogs for their trip to the doggie salon. If you're interested in volunteering, you need to be available on Wednesday mornings.
Are you a resourceful, reliable, resilient individual who is motivated to make a difference in the lives of animals and people? Then join the team striving to ensure a loving home for every unwanted animal, affordable medical care for every sick or injured animal, an end to animal abuse and cruelty, and stronger bonds between animals and people through education and training.
Join us as a regular volunteer. We offer a wide variety of opportunities to help, and our scheduling is flexible.
It's no mystery that the {Buzz_Rescue_Name} survives and thrives because of the help from its many great volunteers. Without you, we just wouldn't be able to do all the functions the shelter requires with the staff the shelter has budgeted for. Our Volunteers allow the {Buzz_Rescue_Name} to help more animals find loving homes and to help them enjoy their time at the shelter even better!
Please consider how much time you will have available to assist. Our needs vary from short-term to ongoing opportunities.
