Volunteer Opportunities with RVHS

You can be a valuable asset to the lives of these homeless cats and dogs. It is an excellent life experience, and very much appreciated, whether it is an hour a week, one day per week, or more.

We need quality volunteer personnel who are dedicated, responsible, honorable, and who will provide the service they commit to. We strive for pride of excellence at RVHS.

Not all volunteer activity involves direct contact with the animals, but yet is vitally important to help us provide a top quality sanctuary for them.

If you are interested in being a part of our team, please contact our Office Manager during business hours listed above.

Some of our volunteer opportunites include:

Adoption Outreach

This includes safe, enclosed transport of animals to and from PetsMart in Medford, remaining on-site for the day (Saturday), being available to provide available info about them to those interested, handing out business cards, directing people to look at our RVHS notebook maintained there. This is a highly public representation of our sanctuary. Proper manners with the public, gentle, secure handling of the animals, safe driving record and habits, as well as the other above-mentioned qualities, are required.
