Pound Care Volunteer
ARE YOU A DOG PERSON?
Are you willing to give some of your time to better the lot of
impounded dogs? Then you are just what we are looking for. While
the City of Petersburg has animal control responsibility, the
PHA takes care of the City pound. This includes caring for impounded
dogs and keeping the shelter clean. You will be committing to
a few hours a month, at specific times of the day, when there
are dogs in the shelter. They need feeding at regular hours and
the shelter needs cleaning daily while dogs are impounded. The
City provides all necessary food and equipment. If you choose
to play with and/or exercise the dogs while you're there, so
much the better.
Duties:
Feed and water impounded dogs once or twice a day, depending
on the age of the dog(s)
Clean the food and water dishes
Clean the kennels and pound area
Clean the run area as necessary
Assure that dogs have a warm, dry place within their kennel
Change blankets or towels as needed, laundering or making arrangements
to launder the dirty ones
Qualifications:
Genuine concern for the welfare of the animals that is consistent
with the philosophy of the Petersburg Humane Association.
Experience handling dogs.
Physical ability and willingness to handle large dogs.
Ability to work independently.
