Volunteer

Pets Alive relies on volunteers to help maintain a clean and sterile surgery clinic. Pets Alive is not a shelter, and animals are only in our care for a single day as they recover from surgery. Therefore, volunteer tasks do not include care for animals. Below are a few of the tasks for our Kennel Assistant Volunteers:

• Help with cleaning and sterilizing crates, carriers, feral cat traps, surgical instruments, and surgery suites
• General cleaning of office, lobby, and hallways
• Assist in washing, drying, and folding laundry. Clean and prepare surgery packs.
• Assist in receiving and returning transported animals to their cages

Opportunities that may arise for long-term volunteers:

• Help prepare syringes for use and fill with rabies vaccine
• Assist with post-operation recovery of cats and dogs
• Take well-behaved dogs on walks when necessary

Use your expertise to benefit Pets Alive by serving as a board or committee member. The Pets Alive Board includes dedicated and passionate animal lovers from across the community. Board members meet on the third Tuesday each month for about one hour. Committee members meet once a month for about an hour. Committees include:

• Governance – Board policies, recruitment, and member relations
• Finance – Budget, accounting and finances
• Development – Fundraising and marketing efforts
  • Special Events Subcommittee
