The following positions would offer a unique volunteer experience to those interested in entering the field of veterinary medicine, or seeking to help a 501c3 within the animal care/welfare field, dedicated to ending euthanasia caused by pet overpopulation.
Our main need is for client assistants at our weekly, low cost vaccine clinic. Opportunities can be as simple as greeting clients, and assisting them with patients. Also, assisting with filling out basic information on their paperwork, and getting to meet many different dogs and cats, of different breeds, colors, shapes and sizes!
Advance positions at our vaccine clinic, made available to long term volunteers, would offer knowledge of rabies vaccine protocols, preventative protocols, in-house testing, client interaction, and patient interaction. (And we are lucky enough to see the best kind of patients, cute pups and kitty cats!) This type of volunteer experience can prove extremely useful, as it gives a good "first look" into what working in the veterinary field actually entails. Those interested in becoming a veterinary assistant, technician or receptionist will certainly be able to take away some valuable knowledge from this volunteer position.
Additionally, we have hours available for assistance with data entry, and other clerical tasks, as they arise. Our clinics are paper based, and later, entered into a computer database system. Experience from this position would include working with AVImark (a very common veterinary database system), Excel, and Word.
*Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age, with state issued proof of age.*

Mission Statement
The Animal Rights Alliance Inc., T.A.R.A., is addressing one of the greatest causes of animal suffering, pet overpopulation. Our mission is to reduce the number of stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs from coming into a system that cannot hold them. This will stop the killing and create more good homes. Our organization operates a low-cost, high-volume, high-quality feline mobile spay/neuter clinic in its 15th year of operation. In addition, we also opened a stationary state-of-the-art spay/neuter clinic, focused on dogs, in April 2014. The T.A.R.A. stationary clinic is located in Middletown, New York.
Description
The Animal Rights Alliance, Inc., was founded in 1984, by Rose and Stephen Tardif to help stray and abandoned animals. They started out by trapping and finding homes for cats and dogs. They also helped others find homes for unwanted cats and dogs, and made sure all were spayed and neutered prior to adoption. It was time-consuming and painstaking. They finally came to the realization that their efforts made a difference for a few, but were not addressing the more serious problem of pet overpopulation. While they were saving one or two at a time, thousands were reproducing. It was like filling a pail of water with a hole in its bottom! Upon further analysis, they came to the fact that there are only two ways to curtail pet overpopulation; one is to raise the death rate and the other is to lower the birth rate. They opted for the latter.
On March 26th 2002, T.A.R.A. rolled out its mobile spay neuter clinic for the first time. Presently, T.A.R.A. has exceeded 120,000 surgeries since 2002!
On April 15th 2014, T.A.R.A. opened the doors to its state-of-the-art, stationary clinic for dogs at 60 Enterprise Place in Middletown, New York. In addition, we have started a weekly vaccine clinics and dental clinics for cats and dogs that already have been spayed/neutered at the stationary clinic.
