Location
549 Tenth Line, Collingwood ON L9Y 0W1
Duties
Dog Care Enrichment Volunteers participate in our Canine Enrichment Program to provide mental and physical stimuli to the dogs in our care. Dog Care Volunteers interact with the majority of dogs at our Animal Centre, so complete a Dog Care Program in order to interact with Green dogs (ie. puppies and seniors who are easy to walk and handle) and Yellow dogs (ie. young, rambunctious, pullers who can be slightly difficult to walk and handle), with the ultimate goal of working with Red dogs (ie. strong pullers with some behavioural issues who are difficult to walk and handle). Training is required upon joining the Dog Care Team and will be required intermittently to progress through the Dog Care Program.
- Create treats / food puzzles
- Provide food and clean water as required or instructed
- Assist in the maintenance of dogs’ physical and mental well-being
- Interact with dogs for walks, training and socialization
- Bathe / groom dogs
- Reinforce behaviours that make dogs more adoptable
- Ensure dogs are safe and secure
- Follow appropriate protocol, policies and procedures
- Wash up dirty dog dishes and assist with laundry (washing, drying and folding linens), based on Enrichment activities undertaken
- Disinfect any dog toys used for Enrichment
- Clean up after dogs (stoop and scoop) in the kennel area and outdoors, as appropriate
- Oversee any cleaning and tidying resulting from own interactions with dogs
