JOIN OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS
DAILY OR LIVE-IN POSITIONS AVAILABLE
As advocates for the ethical treatment of animals, we are always on the lookout for like minded animal lovers to join our team of volunteers and live-in work-exchangers.
The ideal person for the position, is one with a lot of energy, someone who is a critical thinker and has good common sense. We also look for someone who is open-minded, has a good sense of humour, the ability to work without supervision, is generally positive, happy and pleasant with the dogs. As well as a person who is willing to learn, help out in areas that they can see is needed, and follow and respect our rules.
We’re looking for people who are mature,positive and drama-free people and who will be comfortable with communal living and working with a team of like-minded people.
Volunteering at our animal rescue is a great experience and can be very rewarding, however, it is very hard work. If you are a person who lacks patience, or tends to watch the clock waiting for your shift to end, this is not going to be the place for you. Often times, the work here at The Lucky Paws Inn, doesn’t always stop after 5 hours. When unexpected situations arise, they need to delt with them accordingly and unfortunately, animals don’t keep their emergencies within a 5-hour shift time!
It's a dirty job but somebody has got to do it! FYI: If you are squeamish with blood injuries, veterinary treatments, or don't like to get dirty or clean poop, this isn't for you.
Speaking basic or fluent Spanish is going to make things a lot better for you during your stay so we suggest, if you don't already, get on that Duo-Lingo and brush up on your basic Spanish!
