Support our veterinary team from 11 am-2 pm by taking cats and/or dogs out to their owners' vehicles when they arrive to pick them up after their surgery. Pet Runners will also deliver the clients' invoice and pet's paperwork (rabies certificate and tag, microchip registration info, and post-surgery care instructions) and will be responsible for explaining the paperwork and how to care for the pet after surgery. Previous dog handling training is preferred but not required.
Volunteers must:
- have excellent communication skills in order to interact with our clients and fellow volunteers/staff
- be willing/able to take direction from staff
- be organized and have strong attention to detail
- be mobile/able to walk/move quickly, bend, lift, reach, etc.
- be able to handle/control possibly large/strong dogs
- be able to lift pets into vehicles
- be able to assess safety and potential risks in animal-handling situations, and notify staff or ask for proper support in a timely manner
