La experiencia

Hi there !
I have been volunteering in this animal shelter for one year and I would like to help Ira, the owner, to have more volunteers there because she really needs help.
There are 300 hundred dogs in the shelter and about 50 cats.
Some employees are working to feed the animals, cleaning and doing the maintenance stuffs but they don't do the cares or take out the dogs, that's why volunteers are needed.

Programa detallado

We have two teams of volunteers : one for dogs and one for cats

THe work is a bit hard and demanding, outdoor and consists mainly in:
Walking some dogs on the leash
Helping take out some dogs, usually puppies in hands to the walking area
Make photos, videos of necessary dogs and cats
Socialize, cuddle, maybe handling and education, adapting the dogs, maybe cats too - for their future adoption
Other similar activities
Feeding some of the dogs or cats
Helping with carrying buckets in the feeding time (sometimes)

But in the same time the outdoor activities give you an excellent occasion to challenge yourself for adapting to this conditions, the companion animals are of course great pals and communication partners, we can learn a lot from their way to be.
Usually at the beginning the dogs bark a lot when they see a new person. But after 2-3 days the dogs get used to you and you to the dog

Actividades & Turnos

DOGS
The more important task for the volunteers is to take out the dogs and to clean the cages. Some dogs just go in the garden and others go for a walk with a leash.
Other tasks : feeding the animals and some veterinary cares.
Also taking photos !

CATS
The cats lack attention, play, medical care...The kittens grow up wild because of this, and will have less chance for adoption.
So, the volunteers who adore cats, will come specifically to volunteer with cats. This will include :
- giving deworming, glee treatment
- feed them
- socialize with them
- help with washing dishes from cats (this is done by a worker, but they don't always manage to do it all, so help is needed)
- help with changing bed sheets, blankets for them (also done by a worker, but help is needed, so to get involved in this also)
If the person doesn’t mind, also could sleep with the cats.
