Depends on the volunteer and need
We're looking for volunteers in the Edmonton area to provide short-term, temporary homes for dogs whose human companions are temporarily hospitalized. Or in cases where a dog is left homeless because her or his human companion must relocate to a non-pet friendly residence or long term care facility, volunteers provide a foster home for the dog during a period of transition. This may or may not lead to permanent adoption into the home. Other volunteers are able to provide permanent homes for ElderDog canines who have lost a human companion due to relocation, illness, or death. Still other volunteers are able to assist with the care of dogs who live in an ElderDog residential facility. For more details, visit www.elderdog.ca/volunteer-roles or send an email to edmontonvc@elderdog.ca.
Additional Details & Skills Required
To apply, first we'll ask you to: - Fill in an application form (available at www.elderdog.ca/volunteer-roles) - Obtain a Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Check (this typically costs $20) - Submit a photo of yourself for your ID badge Once that's complete, there will be an additional step for applying to foster. To get started, visit www.elderdog.ca/volunteer-roles or contact edmontonvc@elderdog.ca.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
These activities may seem simple to volunteers but they mean the world of difference to someone who needs help. Very often, it means the difference between someone being able to keep or give up their beloved companion.
