JOB DESCRIPTIONS     

Amigos de Animales is a long running spay and neuter clinic that operates solely by volunteers. The veterinarians and our appointment secretary are the only paid personnel in the clinic. The work of the clinic has become vital to our community and has  been growing steadily for the past 15 years. We are always in need of passionate, dedicated people who share the love of animals and desire to improve the conditions of the animals in our community.  Many of these opportunities are outside of the clinics and can be done remotely.

Clinic volunteers - There are many positions for volunteers during the clinics. Volunteers with a medical background may be asked to help in the Pre and Post OP areas where animals are given injections such as antibiotics, parasite medications and anesthesia. There are also positions for Vet assistants and equipment cleaning. The Recovery team helps the dogs and cats to awaken from the anesthesia which is a very important part of the clinic. Training is provided for all positions.

Food for the clinics - Volunteers who would like working in the kitchen area that provides the Vets and volunteers lunch while working a shift. This involves serving and preparing the food and cleaning of the kitchen during and after the clinics.

Needs a friendly, knowledgeable volunteer or two to help to increase our membership by attending the Tuesday BCP market and greeting new people, giving them information about Animales and sign up new and veteran members.
