Animal Haven Seeks Volunteers |
Ward Wiseman Animal Haven is seeking a few good volunteers to assist with various duties at the shelter. Both adults and kids can volunteer, but children under the age of 18 years will need to have a parent or guardian volunteer with them. These duties include walking dogs, answering phones, operating the computer, facility maintenance and landscape, cleaning, and socializing pets to prepare them for forever homes. Chris Armistead, President of the WWAH Board of Directors, said, "We are reaching out to individuals, families, organizations, and companies within the Collinsville community who are looking for a rewarding way to give back to the community. Even if an individual, family, or group could volunteer for one day or event per month, that is one more day a stray dog or cat could find a loving home." He said that they especially need volunteers to come in for a few hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to help keep the shelter open so that pets can find good homes. "Many people come in on weekends looking for a pet and right now, we are struggling to find volunteers to work on weekends," said Armistead. Volunteers are also needed to transport dogs to Tulsa the 2nd Saturday of each month for the onsite adoptions at PetCo. "Petco has been excellent to work with and we want to keep taking our dogs to their onsite adoptions so that we can increase our adoption numbers," said Armistead. The PetCo adoption program is entirely dependent upon volunteers. "The most rewarding part of volunteering is when you see a dog find its forever home," said Armistead, "That's when you realize that your hard work is really worth it." WWAH is a 501 C 3, non-profit, no-kill animal shelter that operates solely from the generosity of volunteers, individuals and organizations within and outside of the Collinsville community. If you are interested in becoming an adult or junior volunteer, please fill out a volunteer application at www.wwahonline.org/volunteer.html. You can also email us at information@wwahonline.org or call the Haven at 918-371-1009 for more information during normal business hours. |
