Volunteering

   ******************************************************************************

  *********************************************************************


Volunteer's Are Only Needed On Saturdays and Sundays at the Petsmart in Oviedo
Or
During Special Adoption Events.

Volunteers play an essential part in the work of the Save A Life Pet Rescue Inc. Without the support of dedicated volunteers, our rescue simply would not be able to provide the state of the art animal care and community outreach programs. Your help in the rescue, out in the neighborhoods or in your own home can and does make a world of difference for the animals.
 
Why should I volunteer my time?

• Explore the field of animal rescue 
• Meet people who share your love of animals  
• Gain valuable work experience  
• Learn from experienced professionals within the field  
• Experience that warm fuzzy feeling that only puppies and dogs can provide

But perhaps most importantly, volunteers have the rewarding opportunity to learn about and contribute to the welfare of companion animals within our community.
 
Be aware that the Animal Rescue, Save A Life Pet Rescue, is a busy working environment, where pet allergens, cleaning agents and high noise levels exist. Animals may jump on you, leave muddy paw prints, and could scratch or bite. Although not all jobs require hands-on involvement with rescue animals, you will almost certainly be working near puppies and dogs.
 
All volunteers MUST wear jeans and sneakers while volunteering. Shorts, Jean shorts, capris, open toes shoes, sandals, etc are NOT acceptable attire. Any volunteer will be sent home and not allowed to volunteer if they show up in unacceptable attire. All Volunteers must be 14 years old to volunteer.
*NO EXCEPTIONS*
 
Please print out and fill out the form below and turn it into Jesse during adoptions. (Sat & Sun from 12:30pm-4:00pm at the Petsmart in Oviedo)
