Volunteer!

Volunteers are a fundamental component of Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue’s success and without them, we could not care for the rabbits. Volunteers make everything we do possible.

To volunteer at the shelter, you must be at least 12 years of age. If you are 12 to 15 years old, it is necessary for a parent or guardian to be with you at the shelter the first time you volunteer. Volunteers 16 years of age or older do not need parental accompaniment. All volunteers must sign a waiver of liability. Volunteers under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign the waiver for them.

There are many ways you can be a Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue volunteer:

Adoptions: We need experienced volunteers to help with adoptions. Volunteers will help check references, answer care questions, introduce the animals, interview applicants, and make follow-up calls. Adoptions take place at My Pet Market at Tatum and Shea on Saturday afternoons.

Animal Caretaking: We need dependable volunteers to help provide for the care of the shelter animals. Duties include changing or washing litter pans, sweeping and mopping the floors, cleaning pens, and feeding the animals. We most need volunteers who are willing to commit to one morning shift per month on Saturdays or Sundays.

Foster Homes: We need foster homes for special needs animals. Typically, special needs animals include shy or aggressive animals and animals with health and/or behavioral issues. Foster homes provide a safe place for animals to heal and to learn to trust people. The amount of time and type of care can vary.  You must first volunteer regularly for 3 months minimum at the shelter to be considered to foster.

Special Events: We need responsible volunteers to represent the BHRR at adoption events, educational events, fundraising and public events. Special events volunteers must be willing to respect the policies of BHRR. Most special events take place in the evenings or on the weekends.

Special Projects: We need responsible, self-motivated volunteers to take on a variety of projects, such as: helping solicit donations, building our donor base, recruiting volunteers, helping with on line content, and/or assisting with ongoing fundraising efforts. Hours are flexible.

Transportation: We need volunteers with valid Arizona driver’s licenses and reliable cars. Volunteers will accompany shelter animals to scheduled veterinary appointments. Some volunteers will also be asked to be on call in case of emergency.
