Talbot Humane volunteers are very special people who
share the same goals for animal welfare as our staff. We depend on them
to help out in a variety of ways. In addition to working directly with
the animals, office/clerical and housekeeping jobs must be done.
Volunteers may assist in many ways.
|
Do you like facts and
figures? |
Update
resources--wish book, lost pet information, and adoption applications.
Assist with general office work.
Lend a hand with computer data entries.
Adoption
assistant: Help the adoption coordinator with paper work,
adoption
packets etc., to make the process go quicker and get animals out the door
faster! |
|
Do you prefer dealing with the
public? |
Become an official Talbot
Humane
greeter on the phone and in person.
Explain our spay/neuter program to visitors.
Make courtesy follow-up calls to adopters to offer assistance with pet-care
information and to check on compliance with spay/neuter agreements.
Cat adoption attendant: Are kitties your thing? We need some
cat savvy people
who would like to “man” the cattery and
help prospective adopters decide which
feline is a purrfect
match!
Dog
adoption attendant: Do you crave the kisses of man’s best
friend? Well
maybe being a dog adoption attendant is the job for you. This is similar to
the
cat attendant; you’ll help prospective adopters in the kennel area take dogs
outside or
to the visiting room to see if we can make a love connection.
Get involved with our various yearly fundraising events
Take photos of shelter animals as they leave for their
new forever home.
Help raise Talbot
Humane visibility in the communities we serve through
participation in scheduled events around the county--from marching in parades
to manning a Talbot Humane booth,
to fundraising events
and more! If you are
interested in being a committee member
let us know and we will connect you
with the appropriate person. |

Does a cold nose make you
happy? |
Enjoy the fun
of walking and socializing our adoptable animals.
Bathe
and groom shelter dogs and cats. They will love you for it.
Transport wildlife to sanctuaries as needed.
Foster
Parent: Are you a night owl? Do you like a challenge? Is the
idea of
giving a needy animal a second chance at life something you would like to
try?
Well, maybe being a foster parent is a job for you. We are always getting
kittens and
puppies in need of care and socialization: maybe it’s a dog with a
broken leg; sometimes
it is simply an animal not thriving in the shelter situation
and needs some tender love and care
at home to flourish. We always need
someone interested in giving their time and love
to this worthy cause. You may
complete the Foster Care Application
online. |
|
Do you enjoy the satisfaction of
seeing a job well done? |
|
Get out
your new digital camera and photograph our adoptable pets
for posting
on the website--a most important volunteer job!
Help keep our shelter
landscaping beautiful through the year.
Perform general housekeeping duties, from dishes to laundry, to cleaning
kennels and floors.
If you have other special skills to offer not listed here,
please tell us about them too. Just give us a call at

be glad you did, and so will we and the animals we serve!
