This is an amazing opportunity to work with the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, by providing a much needed service. This is a free event for the Pets of the Residents of the Reservation.
Volunteers are needed to set up the event, from 6AM to 7AM. Then from 7AM to 9/10AM, volunteers are needed to take dogs and cats back to the crates. Lastly, volunteers are needed to tear down crates and help clean up from 2PM/3PM to when the last animal goes home. The last animal is usually discharged around 5PM, it all depends on how many come to this event and if there are any emergencies. Sometimes, we are there as late as 9PM, and sometimes we get out early, and are done by 7PM.
Depending on the Volunteer's level of comfort, there may be some interactions with the Community. It really depends on the Volunteer and what tasks he/she is comfortable doing. Flexibility is key. Tasks may be assigned and then changed because something has come up.
This is a first-come/first-serve event, and we will only take a certain number of spays and neuters. We usually provide surgical services for 30 to 60 dogs and/or cats. It is not deep cleaning or intense set up. Set up is putting crates together and staging areas for intake with tables and chairs. Tear down is breaking down crates and cleaning them. then loading the Van and helping to clean the area. This is an amazing opportunity for animal lovers and people that like to be of service. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you.
Volunteer Orientation will be held April 3rd, 2017, at the Starbucks on Stapley and McKellips in Mesa.
