Information about adoption events, fundraising events, training sessions, etc., is listed here. Some of the current projects and fundraisers are listed on our Events Calendar and Events Page.
Volunteers are vital to the success of our organization. CARA operates mostly with volunteers, relying on the commitment of dedicated animal lovers. Even the board members scoop their share of poop! Due to funding limitations, CARA only contracts part-time Animal Care Givers who perform daily animal management which includes kennel cleaning, feeding, etc. CARA relies on volunteers to do the rest.
Socializing animals, fundraising, educating our community, recruiting new volunteers, etc. are just a few of the many ways you can help. Your time is a valuable gift and just a few hours will make an incredible difference in the lives of homeless animals.
General Guidelines:
-
Any volunteers who will be cleaning the facility must complete a training class. All volunteers are encouraged but not required to attend a formal orientation at the shelter.
-
Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to participate independently - but still must be signed in by a parent or guardian.
-
Volunteers under 16 years of age must be accompanied (within an arms reach) by a parent or guardian AT ALL TIMES.
-
The adult must maintain control of the animal (holding the leash, etc.) at all times.
-
CARA is not liable for any injuries as volunteers spend time in the facility at their own risk. Animals are unpredictable and so are people, so always use your best judgment when volunteering. :-)
