Love dogs? Like working in a team environment? Want to learn ASPCA emergency sheltering best practices and meet like-minded individuals?
Right now, more than 200 dogs—most of them rescued from a life of dogfighting and now at our temporary shelter in Ohio—need your help.
Who:
OH-licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians and daily caregivers
What:
- Medical teams provide expertise for treatment and care of animals
- Daily care responders provide direct care and maintenance including feeding, cleaning kennels and providing enrichment
When:
NOW! The ASPCA FIR Team is scheduling responders daily. We have a critical gap beginning 1/31 and there is no exact end date for these shelters. FIR expects to be there well into 2017.
For how long:
Length is flexible, from one to 14 days per person. (Note: If participation requires a flight, there is a 7-day minimum requirement.)
How:
Airfare, mileage, hotel and meals will be covered if needed. Volunteers will receive an orientation and specific training relevant to the operation.
Why:
Most volunteers who deploy to ASPCA operations describe the experience as life-changing, and are eager to come back, learn new skills and work with others who care just as deeply about animals.
