Dog Walker
|
|
Dog walkers exercise and socialize dogs that are currently available for adoption. Through this interaction, volunteers provide the dogs with mental stimulation creating a healthier, happier, more adoptable dog. Some volunteers work with dogs to develop good manners, such as walking well on a leash, that will help them be more successful in their new homes. Dog walkers may also bathe adoptable dogs as needed.

Volunteers act as shelter ambassadors and help to spread the mission of OC Animal Care throughout the community.

Groomer
|
|
Volunteers groom shelter dogs to create quality bonding time between themselves and the dogs, thus increase a dog's adoptability. These dogs often come to us matted and dirty. This special attention from a grooming volunteer enables the dog’s true personality to shine through and increased his chance of being adopted. At this time OC Animal Care is unable to offer thorough grooming training, but we welcome those who possess grooming skills.

Kitten nursery attendants help to feed, clean, and care for small kittens that are housed in OC Animal Care’s kitten nursery. These kittens are currently awaiting placement with a rescue organization or a foster home. With the help from these volunteers, OC Animal Care and its extensive network of foster caretakers and rescue organizations have saved thousands of underage kittens.
