You can come in to volunteer if you are beween the ages of 10 and 16. While you're here you will learn alot about the care of all kinds of pets, and you can use your experience in our store on your resume in the future.

 

When you are here, you will be asked to do a variety of jobs, including feeding & watering small animals, puppies and kittens, cleaning cages, dusting & organizing shelves, scooping dead fish out of aquariums, counting crickets & mealworms, or cleaning up messes from puppies running loose in the store. You are not forced to do any job that you think is "too gross", however we appreciate it when volunteers can help in all ways. When all your jobs are done, you can hold and play with the puppies, kittens and small animals.

 

You can come in anytime during regular store hours, although most volunteers come in on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You can stay as little or as long as you want. We also have Ruffin's t-shirts and aprons for you to wear, if you want.

 

All volunteers are expected to help in some way. Any volunteer who comes in only to "hang-out" or play with pets will be asked to leave.
