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 is in need of volunteers to help with the day to day care and feeding of the homeless animals in their care. The APS volunteer program allows 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, Tuesday, November 10 at 5:00. Refreshments will be served and shelter employees will be on hand to answer questions. For more information call 378-2158.
