- Volunteering at the sanctuary typically involves helping care of the animals by providing them with a clean, comfortable environment. This includes cleaning out stalls, cleaning the animal's common area in the barn, cleaning the housing for our feathered friends, washing dishes, cleaning the duck's swimming water, and providing fresh drinking water to the animals.
- Physical tasks can include (but aren't limited to) lifting heavy bags of bedding and hay bales; racking, shovelling, sweeping; bending down to wash dishes and other tasks; carrying buckets of water; moving wheelbarrows in and out of the barn and fenced in areas; etc.
- Morning cleaning starts at 9am and generally takes a couple of hours.
- After the morning clean is done, volunteers are welcome to spend some time with animals that enjoy the company of humans (this can change from day to day depending on how specific residents are feeling, and we'll provide clarity around this during each volunteer shift).
- Morning volunteering wraps up by noon, although we often finish morning rounds much sooner, and there's no obligation to stay past when the morning "clean and feed" is complete).
- Morning volunteer opportunities are available 7 days a week, from spring through fall.
- After reviewing your registration form, we'll invite you out to the sanctuary to see if morning volunteering is right for you (this will involve hands-on training and helping with the morning routine if you feel comfortable to do so after a brief orientation and health & safety tour)
