What volunteer activities are you interested in?

Are there any other areas your are interested in volunteering for either occasionally or on a regular basis? (handyperson, data entry, grooming, legal work, ????)

What days are you available to volunteer? Volunteers are able to come between 10-5 daily while an animal caretaker is at the shelter.

I agree to the following:

I understand that I am working with rescue dogs and agree to follow the procedures shown to me during my orientation.

I understand that when walking or handling a dog, I am taking responsibility for the dog while it is in my care and control.

While outdoors, I will keep the dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a kennel. I will not put the dog in a situation that could be dangerous for him/her.

If the dog should appear sick, become injured, become lost, or bite me or another person or animal while in my care, I will notify the animal caretaker immediately.

I agree to hold harmless the Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue and it officers and members for any injury to me or my property.

If this dog should become sick, injured, lost, or bites me, or another person or animal, I will notify Patti Muraczewski 414-750-0152 or Tammie Riepe 414-422-9222 immediately.

I will arrange for the dog to be met by prospective adopters, either by appointment or during open hours at the shelter facility.

I understand that if I decide I would like to adopt this dog, I must notify Bichon and Little Buddies and complete an adoption application prior to another applicant being approved to meet the dog.

I understand violating any of this agreement will end my ability to foster with Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue and the dog will be returned promptly to the rescue.

I agree to hold harmless the Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue and its officers and members.

By signing/typing below I am agreeing that I answered all the questions accurately and agree to and understand my responsibility of a volunteer.
