Animal Care Assistant – International and local Volunteers
Volunteers working in animal care help fulfill the mission by providing animals with clean, comfortable housing that leads to healthier happier and ultimately more adoptable animals. This is an advanced volunteer role open only to volunteers who are intersted to volunteer with us for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Volunteering in the community – Local Volunteers only
Community Outreach Volunteers will work with Pet.org.au to create a greater presence. Volunteers will work to develop a community presence and to build trust with residents, community leaders, businesses. Outreach Volunteers’ duties can be tailored to an individual’s strengths and interests; however most volunteers will primarily help out at community events and door knocking in neighborhoods.
