Posted May 14, 2015 at 5:41 am by Tim Dustrude
If you’ve always wanted to become a part of the life-saving volunteer program at the animal shelter – now is a great time to get involved!
The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor has announced an all-new and very-much improved volunteer program and is looking for people 18 and older to become a part of the team.
The new volunteer program will allow people to select the type of volunteer position they’re best suited for from a wide variety of jobs including, Dog Walking and Socialization, Cat Companion, Kennel and Cat Room Cleaning, Laundry, Office Assistant and Ground Maintenance to name a few.
The new volunteer program will also include Pet Ambassador positions for those who wish to select an individual shelter pet to mentor on a weekly basis until that pet is adopted. Shelter Outreach Coordinator, Jan Murphy, says, “The Pet Ambassador program is a great way to get involved and truly enrich the life of a shelter animal.” She adds, “Many of the pets here at the shelter, especially some of the older cats, have been here for a long time, and having a special someone in their lives will make a huge difference for them.”
If you’re interested in becoming an animal shelter volunteer you are invited to attend a Volunteer Orientation at the Animal Shelter, 111 Shelter Road, Wednesday, May 20 at 5:30. Refreshments will be served and shelter employees will be on hand to answer questions. For more information call 378-2158.
