At the NRG Arena, Best Friends is currently caring for nearly 400 dogs and almost 75 cats displaced by the storm with the help of approximately 100 volunteers daily.
Dog Care Support shifts are available daily; 8-11am and 3-6:30pm. 25-30 volunteers are needed each shift. Help during the weekdays is a critical need.
These volunteers assist caregivers with walking, changing bedding, cleaning, washing dishes and other duties as assigned.
Experience working with dogs of all shapes, size, breeds and temperaments is recommended. Volunteers with a higher level of experience will work with the dogs who may be more timid, nervous, scared, etc.
We appreciate your willingness to help with a variety of tasks. We want to set your expectations accordingly as to what you may be doing in this role.
If this is your first Dog Care Support shift you will attend a brief orientation before working with the caregivers and dogs.
**Closed-toe shoes required and long pants strongly recommended.**
