Volunteer Orientation
Start: 5/9/2015 9:30 am
End: 5/9/2015 11:00 am
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Dorothy H. O’Connor Pet Adoption Center (DOCPAC)! The time and attention that our volunteers spend with animals helps to keep the animals well-socialized and better able to present themselves when people come looking for a pet to adopt. This, in turn, helps animals find good homes.
You will need to attend our Volunteer Orientation Class prior to volunteering at the shelter. This class is a basic training session on safe animal handling procedures and protocols at DOCPAC. If you are under the age of 16, you must be accompanied by an adult at all times during your volunteer hours. The adult(s) who will be accompanying the child must take our Volunteer Orientati…on Class. A strict ratio of one adult to every two minors will be enforced. Volunteers must be at least 10 years of age. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
Volunteer Orientation Class will be March 21st from 9:30am-11:00am.(Contact DOCPAC for other orientation dates) Seating is limited, so you must pre-register for the class. You can pre-register by calling 361-575-8573 or visiting the shelter. Please wear appropriate, comfortable clothing and tennis shoes.
NO FLIP FLOPS.
