A Dog Care volunteer keep our dogs healthy and happy in a clean, safe environment until they are adopted. The dogs in our adoption center can be highly stressed. Volunteers and staff make their time in our care more comfortable. This is busy and fast paced with up to 40 dogs to care for, walk, feed and clean up after. There are three shifts each day; 9am-12pm, 2-4pm (except Monday) and 6-8:30pm. Volunteers must practice safe animal handling per HPAC protocols and training, communicate effectively, work independently and as a team with volunteers and staff. This job can be intense, physically demanding and require repetitive scrubbing, bending, and light to heavy lifting. The dogs go outside 4 times a day in all weather conditions. Volunteers must dress appropriately.

Mission Statement
Homeward Pet's mission is to transform the lives of cats and dogs in need through compassionate medical care, positive behavior training, and successful adoption while building a more humane community.
Description
Founded in 1990 under the name "Hooterville Pet Safehaus". We started with simple goals: save and re-home cats and dogs and educate the public about spaying and neutering their pets.
In 2002 Hooterville became Homeward Pet Adoption Center. We are one of the largest no-kill shelters in the state of Washington! Each year Homeward helps over 1,300 cats and dogs find their forever home. Where do these animals come from? 50% are owner surrenders and the other 50% are animals we rescue from shelters who euthanize.
We remain small with a staff of 30 (half are part-time). And our 350+ volunteers are our backbone (thank you volunteers and donors!). Many of the rescued animals who come to Homeward get more love and attention in our shelter than they have ever known.
