Volunteer: Animal Care for Pets in Homeless Shelter

FHIHN's Pet Support Program shelters dogs, cats, and other pets whose owners are in homeless shelters, hospitals, and rehab programs in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Because shelters generally don't allow animals, we're preventing pets from being surrendered to animal shelters, allowing families to get the help they need, and keeping the entire family together.

We are in need of volunteers to take care of these animals. Our average capacity is around 25 animals. Responsibilities would include:

- Ensuring animals have food and clean water

- Cleaning litter boxes and outdoor dog area

- Spending time/playing with animals for exercise and social well-being

- Dog walking

- Cleaning dog/cat kennels 

 - Doing laundry

- Communicating with Pet Support Staff about any problems or issues

Shifts are 2 hours and the need varies. Our organization has an ongoing need for volunteers, so we ask volunteers to commit to a weekly shift and to complete a minimum of 20 hours of service. Shifts can be covered if sick or out of town.
