We are doing so with the intent of developing more refined statistics of this kind – statistics for the overall number of animals in foster in a given month and ultimately the disposition of the animals that have been in foster homes. Program Report 1. Volunteering Volunteer Orientations: This orientation is a requirement of the Animal Shelter to protect the health and well-being of both volunteers and animals. A total of seventeen (17) people attended the single orientation offered this month. Policy Procedures/Animal Handling Training: This is advanced training for volunteers wishing to work with direct handling of the animals, for example, dog walking and socialization, and cat-room cleaning. It is mandatory for all volunteers who work with animals in the Animal Shelter. Twelve (12) people attended the session offered this month. Outreach Program: Always presented by volunteers, with occasional assistance from the Program Coordinator, this is a program where we set up a table at a public location, often with select shelter animals, and provide information on adoptions and animal care. This month three programs were held at Dubey’s, Weaver Street, and Phydeaux’s. Volunteers: Volunteers this month numbered 64 and volunteer hours totaled 350.75. As can be seen from the chart below, even with the seasonal decrease in volunteers we’re still maintaining a healthy margin above last year’s figures.
