Our check-in volunteers are one of the first faces that clients and their pets see upon arrival the day of surgery, and we are looking for a few good folks!

Are you an animal lover that is great with all types of people, organized, outgoing, and possibly looking for a bit of exercise? This might be a perfect opportunity for you! We are adding clinic dates in Minneapolis and will need more volunteer help starting in January of 2022.

Client check-in starts at 8:00 a.m. each day (arrival time of 7:45am) and shifts are generally a 2-2.5hour commitment ending around 10:00-10:30 a.m. All shifts are currently located at our headquarters in Minneapolis.

The basic outline of the position includes, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

• Greet clients and their pets from a distance to verify that are scheduled for the day and are at the correct time and door
• Do a pre-check to make sure they have a mask, their required documents, ID and other necessary items
• We are currently utilizing a paging system most days, so the client typically receives a pager and waits in their car
• Regulate the number of people going into the building (currently only 1 at a time)
• Escort animals to the proper area or kennel
• Label carriers or crates as needed
• Give parking directions or other information
• Please note, this position does require being outside often (can be inside between clients)

Please note this position includes working outside in varying weather conditions.

Face masks are required and worn by all, social distancing is enforced, and temperature checks are conducted on staff and volunteers every day upon arrival among other things as recommended by the CDC. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
