Animal lovers- this is the right spot for YOU!
Want to help rescued bunnies while they wait in foster care? Rabbit haven is looking for a few great volunteers who want to help care for these special Haven bunnies. Foster site
Help: Our large foster sites are in need of volunteers.
Typically Haven site
volunteers are needed to help clean bunny cages and habitats, provide
food and water to all rabbits , to change the bedding in rooms, and to
place rabbit in play zones for play time. Volunteers shuttle rabbits, pick up supplies, run other errands as needed. Everyone works cooperatively.
We also have position open for our Rabbit adoption team as Haven show volunteers!
Show volunteers may
also help set up Friday evenings (In Soquel) and may help close the
show Sat evening. Adoption show counselors need to be somewhat outgoing and always positive with a high tolerance for the public. This can be challenging- each show event we see a variety of people. Some are nice while others can be difficult. There are crying children, sweet little ones, people with a variety of animals, all sorts of personalities and so many questions. Just an assortment of every kind of person imaginable. Basically, they are there to pet, find out info to adopt or just be with the rabbits. Our job is to educate ever person who attends our shows and to help the bunnies find a new human companion. Haven staff helps the public all about the wonders of house rabbits. They leave knowing more than when they arrived.
A smile and open communication goes a long way to beginning the education process about house rabbits. Keeping positive with the public and potential adopters is a great Public relations tool - Rabbit Haven is known to be the place to come to learn about rabbits. Both inexperienced and experienced people come to our shows. We assist everyone who comes to us. Of course training is provided in all areas! We need you so much! Hey, those of you looking for a job, this looks good on your resume if you are short of work experience. I also will give employment references! Special projects: There is even more fun ways that you can participate. We have building projects, show projects, children’s education programs, poster design projects, and flyer posting projects, Holiday craft projects. You can fit into our system in so many ways - Everyone can be involved. We are looking for people who want to make a difference in animal welfare and who are interested in joining with a community group devoted to rabbit rescue, care, support and placement. Lend you skills and join in the fun of caring for little bunnies. We need coverage 6 days a week. So call us today and see what you can do. Students: We can
