Join Our Volunteer Team

Volunteers are the lifeblood of VKB. Alongside generous private donations, our volunteers' dedication, time, and energy make our work possible. We are currently looking to expand our team of volunteers.
 

Important Information for Volunteers

  • Age Requirement: All shelter volunteers must be 18 years of age or have parental consent.
     

  • Waiver and Awareness: All volunteers must sign a waiver and understand that VKB provides homes to dogs who might otherwise be euthanized, which means some dogs at the shelter are highly reactive or have complex histories. For this reason, small children are not allowed.

Transportation

  • Responsibilities: Collecting and delivering donations, vet runs, and rescuing animals.
     

  • Requirements: If you have a car and can occasionally help, we will add you to a WhatsApp group to coordinate tasks. The responsibility is shared among many to prevent overburdening.
     

Administration

  • Responsibilities: Helping with paperwork and organizing dog records.
     

  • Requirements: An organized self-starter, committing a few hours a week under the guidance of a team leader.
     

Accounting Advice

  • Responsibilities: Providing occasional advice to ensure cost-effective and straightforward financial management.
     

  • Requirements: Experienced accountants who can offer expertise as needed.
     

Kennel Volunteers

  • Responsibilities: Walking and bathing dogs, cleaning kennels and food bowls.
     

  • Requirements: Shifts last around 4-5 hours and occur every day, rain or shine. We welcome volunteers whether you can join us once a month, once a week, or daily.
     

Translation

  • Responsibilities: Translating social media posts and fundraising materials.
     

  • Requirements: Bilingual individuals who can join a WhatsApp group to assist with translations when needed. Tasks are shared widely to distribute responsibility.
