Want to Volunteer?
The
San Marcos Animal Shelter relies on volunteers to help out
with many of the programs that the shelter has, as well as
helping with everyday duties at the shelter.
Volunteer
duties include cleaning and feeding animals, grooming and
exercising animals, clerical work in the office and working
on special projects, and events.
Cleaning
and feeding involves making sure the living conditions for
the shelter animals are as comfortable as we can possibly
make it for them. Proper nutrition is also essential to maintaining
a healthy animal. Volunteers are given thorough instructions
on how to properly clean and feed our animals.
Grooming
and exercising involves basic animal care. Cats and kittens
need brushing and their nails clipped periodically. Dogs and
puppies need bathing, dipping and brushing as well as having
their nail trimmed. All animals need daily exercising. We
have cat toys and scratching posts available for the cats
to play with. There are collars and leashes of all sizes to
use in walking the dogs in our fenced in field out behind
the shelter.
Office
work requires answering the phone, data entry, filing, greeting
visitors, etc.
Special
projects and events include various programs
in the schools, and other organizations, and annual events like our rabbies clinic, the mutt strutt, petfest, sights & sounds, and TX State Volunteer Fair.
Volunteer orientation
classes are held Tuesdays from 4-5 p.m.
