Animal Shelter--and Services--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 24 people attended the two orientations this month. Policy Procedures/Animal Handling Training: This is advanced training for volunteers wishing to work with direct handling of the animals, such as dog walking and socialization, cat-room cleaning, and related activities. A total of 15 people attended the training session given by our Program Coordinator, Animal Care Technician, and senior dog volunteer on August 12th. 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 Weaver Street Market, Carrboro Town Commons, and the PTA Thrift Shop in Chapel Hill. Volunteers: Volunteers this month numbered 53 and they assisted us for 389.25 hours. With the return of our volunteer program coordinator from her medical leave, we have resumed the trend toward increasing the total number of volunteer hours over the same month last year.
