At the Fayetteville Animal Shelter, volunteers are considered a special extension of the staff.
Volunteers have both responsibilities and rights.
Responsibilities include accepting supervision, adherence to shelter policies, honoring confidential information, and maintaining the dignity and credibility of the City of Fayetteville with the public. Rights include the right to have a job that is worthwhile and challenging, to orientation and training, to be informed about what is going on and how the volunteer's job relates to the overall picture, and to recognition, recommendations, and encouragement. If you are interested in volunteering for the shelter, please contact the Shelter Volunteer Coordinator. An information packet will be given or sent to you, describing areas needing volunteers. The shelter maintains an aluminum can recycling program for money.
