Mammals: We are looking for a volunteer who would like to be trained to feed and care for our resident small mammals on Saturdays. Work involves feeding, watering, and cleaning the animals' enclosures.
Time required: about 15-20 minutes weekly.
Because formal training will be provided by our Director of Animal Care, we are seeking volunteers who are able to provide us with a long-term commitment.
All volunteers are required to fill out a Volunteer Application. A background check is mandatory for all adults prior to the start of volunteer service.
