What are the responsibilities and job description for the Animal Rescue Volunteer( Unpaid -strictly volunteer) position at Wags 2 Wishes Animal Rescue?
Thank you for your interest in being a Wags 2 Wishes volunteer!
Wags 2 Wishes is a non profit animal rescue that has been saving lives since 2013. We are located in Plainfield IL at 23907 W Industrial Dr N.
We have volunteer positions available mornings and late afternoons. Typically 8am - 11am and 4pm- 6pm. We also have opportunities based on experience helping during open viewing and at our Resale Shop
It's great a volunteer position if you have a flexible work schedule or work from home and have free time!
We ask the volunteers have experience in animal handling such as pet care, dog walker, vet techs or have been a pet owner with vast experience.
Wags 2 Wishes get a variety of rescue animals in that need our care. So, a volunteer must be ready and willing to step in. Cleaning kennels, walking dogs, feeding, bathing and vet runs are a few of the tasks needed by our Volunteer Team.
Our volunteers need to be able to work independently, need to remain calm under pressure and not become stressed easily. The animals in our care can pick up on stress and negativity so we try to create a calm environment as much as possible. Volunteers are ALL expected to be able to lift, push, pull 50 lbs. of weight, bend, kneel and clean. We also use bleach to clean and spray air freshener throughout the day. If you cannot perform with these requirements or have a sensitivity to smells this may not be the volunteer position for you.
Being a volunteer is a great opportunity not only to help animals in need but to add a skill to your resume for employers.
A volunteer training session will take place at the rescue for volunteers who complete the application packet and are approved by our Volunteer coordinator.
