Rescue Transport Volunteer
ORGANIZATION: Pacific Wildlife Care
Please visit the new page to apply.
When Hotline callers are unable to transport an animal in distress to PWC’s Rehabilitation Center in Morro Bay, Rescue Transport Volunteers (RTVs) who live near that area are asked to transport animals to the Center. RTVs are trained to assess situations upon arrival and determine what is in the animal’s best interest. PWC staff are available via phone to help RTV volunteers identify the best course of action. Volunteers determine their own comfort level regarding capture and transport. Some RTVs prefer to only transport animals that are already contained. Others want to attempt actual capture of distressed wildlife, using a variety of techniques and equipment that volunteers will receive extensive training to use. RTVs are given basic training in safe wildlife handling techniques and personal safety equipment. Additional training classes are held throughout the year. RTVs need a valid driver’s license, access to a vehicle, and a cell phone. RTVs are asked to be on call for at least 8 hours a month.
