Volunteer at Reptile Rescue

This is a unpaid casual volunteer position

A great opportunity to learn about exotic animals, their care, husbandry, personalities and more! Make a difference in the life of some deserving animals who often get overlooked.

Duties range from holding animals, to cleaning enclosures, sanitizing equipment, treating animals and routine upkeep for the rescue. Interested parties MUST be comfortable with all sizes and manners of snakes and lizards. The rescue rarely works with invertebrate animals but they have come through in the past. Volunteers are never required to work with invertebrate animals. We work with injured and neglected animals that come from bad situations and with animal waste removal. Selected applicants will be trained in DVRR policies and procedures that must be followed. If you are uncomfortable with these requirements this may not be the position for you. Volunteers must have transport however we are located close to 7-11. Our home-based operation does have dog/cat allergies to be considered.

Due to the nature and size of animals we work with, we are looking for sixteen and above applicants. All volunteers will be required to sign a Non-disclosure agreement and waiver. Parental signatures are required for younger applicants. We are more than happy to provide a reference to anyone looking for help with employment opportunities for reliable and punctual volunteers after 3 month's time. For any questions, please message our Facebook page directly.
