General Orientation
Are you looking to volunteer at the New Haven Animal Shelter? On May 25th at 10:30 a.m. there will be a general orientation. What is a general orientation you ask? The volunteer process and the general procedures of the volunteer working with the staff and the public at the shelter will be discussed with you. This general orientation is approximately 1-1/2 hours long. Directly after the general orientation there will be a cat orientation for those of you who wish to work with the felines at the shelter. This orientation is approximately 1 hour long. Those of you who wish to work with dogs will be assigned a mentor who will teach you how to handle the shelter dogs in a safe way. This hands-on orientation will be scheduled with your mentor and takes a few weeks.
