Back in early January we posted a notice similar to this one asking for volunteers at one of our newest adoption centers -- PETCO Sandy Springs, located at 5938 Roswell Road NE. 

We are posting again to ask for more wonderful, generous, appreciated volunteer support at this location.

Specific needs are :

Volunteer Manager -- someone to organize schedules, fill open shifts, and generally oversee the operations of the center.  If you think you might be interested, we can arrange for you to speak with volunteer managers of other adoption centers, or you can e-mail our Volunteer Manager, Belinda Kach, at volunteer@furkids.org to ask for more specifics.  Someone to fill this volunteer need would be VERY appreciated.  

We also need volunteers for the following  days/times:

• Monday AM & PM
• Tuesday AM & PM
• Wednesday AM
• Friday AM
• Saturdays and Sundays

You can work as little as 1 hour per week or several hours.  The amount of time you want to commit is up to you.  The work is highly satisfying and great fun to do in pairs!  So grab a friend, spouse, sibling, co-worker, child — whomever — and complete a volunteer application today.  After we receive your application, we will contact you for training and get you ready to start working with some great cats and people at PETCO Sandy Springs.  To learn more about our volunteers please feel free to browse through our volunteer pages.

Volunteer duties would include:

• Socializing with the cats.  This includes letting them out of their cages, engaging them in play, grooming them, petting them, giving them individual attention, allowing them to stretch their legs, etc.  Socializers also do light cleaning duties and talk to potential adopters about the cats and Furkids’ adoption policies/procedures.
• Cleaning the cat cages and the adoption room in which the cats are housed.  This includes refreshing litter boxes, refreshing food and water bowls, making sure the cat beds and other cage linens are clean, wiping down all surfaces, sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning windows, etc.
• Volunteers would also be asked to make observational notes in a notebook about each cat after each visit and work with the volunteer coordinator to ensure supplies are well-stocked and managed.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Existing volunteers do not need to fill out a new application.  Just contact us at volunteer@furkids.org and let us know if you would like to start volunteering at this location.
