PLEASE READ AND REVIEW FULL DESCRIPTION WITH YOUR CHILD BEFORE REGISTERING

Volunteer Details and Tasks that we may be performing (Description provided by the Fox Valley Humane Association):

Please note that we cannot guarantee animal interaction during every visit.

Due to the recent influx of animals and our increasing need for volunteer support, we have explored various ways for youth volunteers to contribute meaningfully. Here are some of the options we are considering offering:

Shelter Maintenance – Dishes and Laundry:
One of our most crucial ongoing needs is help with shelter maintenance, particularly dishes and laundry. Volunteers will wash and dry food bowls, water dishes, and other items used by our animals. Additionally, they will help with washing, drying, and folding the laundry, which includes blankets, towels, and bedding for the animals.

Preparing Dinner for the Cats:
Volunteers will assist in preparing food dishes for our cats. This involves measuring out food, filling dishes, and ensuring everything is ready for staff to distribute to the cats at feeding time. It’s a great way to get to know our feline residents and ensure they have a nutritious meal. A chart will be available for the volunteers to follow.

Preparing Dinner for the Dogs:
Volunteers can help with preparing food dishes for our dogs. This task involves measuring out food, filling dishes, and ensuring everything is ready for staff to distribute to the dogs. Proper nutrition is vital for our dogs’ health and well-being. A chart will be available for the volunteers to follow.

Cat Socializing:
Socializing with our cats is a wonderful way to provide them with the attention and enrichment they need. Volunteers will spend time with the cats, offering gentle attention, playing with them, and giving them treats. This helps the cats feel more comfortable and happier, and it can be very rewarding for the volunteers as well.

Kennel Cleaning:
Keeping our dog kennels clean is essential for the health and well-being of our animals. Volunteers will help by spraying out empty dog kennels, ensuring they are clean and ready for the next occupant. This task is vital for maintaining a sanitary and comfortable environment for our dogs.

Making Animal Enrichment:
Volunteers will create enrichment activities for our animals, such as filling Kongs for dogs or treat toys for cats. These activities help keep our animals mentally stimulated and happy while they await adoption.
