VOLUNTEERS
You CAN help….
Become a Volunteer with NSW Animal Rescue Inc
Life will never be the same…
Now I know you are probably thinking that
you couldn’t
volunteer because :
-
You can’t have an animal in your house because of living in
a rental etc -
You just don’t really like dogs or cats…
-
Volunteering takes up too much time…..
-
It’s not your thing, after all volunteers have to turn up to
meetings every month etc etc……
Now that the ‘objections are out of the
way, let me tell you CAN
help by being a volunteer with us. There are
many ways you can
help, even if you aren’t a dog or cat person, but you
DO have a
heart for animal welfare, we NEED your help!
The needs and demands of our community
are putting an increasing
strain on our little Rescue and we need more
volunteers urgently.
Our volunteers help in the following areas:
Animal Care
– working either
directly from our Headquarters,
or becoming a foster carer, we need
volunteers who can help
rehabilitate our animals, show them that someone
cares and loves
them, get them through their trauma and also help find
them
wonderful new ‘forever’ homes.
Animal Care Training - NSW Animal Rescue Inc.
will commence training our long term volunteers and carers in the
TAFE Certificate II Animal Studies
course mid 2008. This course is offered at minimal
charge to our members.
Fundraising
– we need to be
constantly raising funds for our
Rescue as we do not get any regular
government or private
funding. Without the help of businesses and
individuals,
we would not be able to run our Rescue and many
animals
would die needlessly and in pain. At the moment,
one of our main
fundraising activities is through sausage
sizzles throughout the
community on a regular basis.
We need volunteers to man these sausage
sizzles,
so if you like a good BBQ and you don’t mind talking
with
people…come along, we need you.
We are also hoping to undertake several
more great
fundraising activities throughout 2007, but we cant do it
without dedicated volunteers to help coordinate them,
run them, and also
promote them throughout the community.
So if you have a head for ideas,
a heart for fun, and the
guts to talk with businesses and people…give us
a call !
Foster Caring
– this is an area
we take very seriously.
After our animals have spent some time at
headquarters,
and they are well enough to take that next step, we send
them to the homes of our foster carers, who look after
them until they
find their ‘forever’ homes.
Some of our carers prefer certain types of
animals,
which is fine by us. We have carers who only take puppies,
as
they don’t mind the round the clock feedings etc etc.
Others take our
special needs animals who have various
different medical needs, and need
round the clock care.
Still others have facilities to take some of our
‘unusual’
charges such as chickens, birds etc..
Office Work –
Our office is a fun place to work, and there
is always something to do.
There is a heap of fun involved in being
a Volunteer with
NSW Animal Rescue. All our Volunteers get together regularly
for
social activities, as well as to gain feedback from how
things are
going. We believe in being one big happy family,
with the animals
as our main beneficiaries.
Volunteering doesn’t take a heap of time
from you;
we appreciate ANY time you can give us. So whether
you have a
few hours a day, or a couple of hours a month,
or anywhere in between,
we would love to hear from you.
