Animal Care

Commitment Level: High

Our Animal Care Team volunteers are asked to commit to regular times and days throughout the week. All Animal Care Team members must be 18 years of age or older and have access to regular communication such as texting, calling, email, etc. 

All teams members must understand that this is not a time to play with cute animals. Much of this job includes cleaning cages and assisting with sick patients. There is always a risk of being bit when working with animals, so we require all animal care volunteers to have proof of tetanus. We also HIGHLY recommend that our volunteers receive their rabies pre-exposure vaccine. This is a great volunteer opportunity for those who are interested in becoming a licensed rehabilitator or wish to work with animals in their career!

If you are interested in joining our team, please email your completed application to info@enchantedforestwildlife.org.

Animal Transport

Commitment Level: Low

This is an easy, low commitment volunteer opportunity! If you have a busy schedule, and would like to help out on occasion, you can sign up to help with transportation. There is no scheduling commitment required for this position.

Volunteers in this category will need reliable transportation, a valid license, and access to texting and calling. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, email us at info@enchantedforestwildlife.org.
