IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The Isle of Wight County Animal Services Division is committed to positive and enduring community relationships, and all staff and volunteers are expected to uphold that commitment. By signing this application, you are indicating that you understand and will conduct yourself accordingly.
2. The Isle of Wight County Animal Services Division is an open intake shelter. Which means we accept all animals (resident of Isle of Wight County) regardless of age, health, or temperament. Because we accept all animals surrendered by residences of Isle of Wight County as well as house the strays of Isle of Wight County, we occasionally must euthanize animals who do not meet our health or temperament requirements. We also sometimes must euthanize animals due to space limitations. This also means that at any given time, citizens may be surrendering their pets. Please be respectful of this process on behalf of the animal, the citizen and the staff members assisting. Please let us know if you have any questions about these policies.
3. During an individual’s visit to the shelter, all volunteer policies and disclaimers apply to any and all member of visiting party. (To include children, parents, guardians or chaperones) if regulations and instructions are not being followed staff has the right to terminate individuals level of participation at any time during the duration of the visit.
4. The Isle of Wight County Animal Services Division is not liable for any lost or stolen personal items that are brought into the facility. The shelter has provided lockers for all volunteers to use. Please feel free to bring a personal lock for your belongings. All items stored in the lockers must be taken home with you after each day. Any item(s) found in the locker at the end of business, are subject to being placed into our Lost & Found. If you have left your personal lock on one of the lockers (restricting others from using) for more than 2 weeks, Isle of Wight Animal Shelter has the right to remove your personal lock.
5. Please make sure to notify staff if there is any physical limitations, allergies or fear/uncertainty of participating members
6. We often take photos of our volunteers and our visiting groups during their visits to use as promotions on our Facebook and other social media sites. Please notify all guardians of visiting children of this possibility. We can provide consent forms to the main contact, if needed. If they do not wish to be featured or have their photos taken, please speak to staff directly.
7. Please note that ALL volunteers should be dressed appropriately (to include closed toed shoes). Our volunteers often make contact with cleaning products that may stain, direct contact with our animals and/or assist with yard work. Please wear something you can get dirty.
8. Isle of Wight County Animal Services Division partners with Western Tidewater Regional Jail in a trustee work release program. By agreeing and accepting all rules and regulations associated with this program you are agreeing to work alongside said trustees in accordance to both agencies regulations. Termination of your ability to volunteer can/will be revoked at any point that these regulations are thought to be violated.
