What to expect?
Volunteering at WERLA includes:
- Cleaning! (yes, lots of poop and strong smells)
- Preparing food (including carnivorous diets)
- Feeding delicate babies (LOTS OF BABIES!) with bottle and syringe
- Assisting with medical treatments on animals of all shapes and sizes
- Raking, shoveling, and physical work outdoors
- Attending festivals and educating the public
- After training, answering phone calls and giving advice or arranging transport
- Many of the animals’ days begin early, and we do too! Volunteers arrive at 9am and leave at various times based on animals’ needs and staffing.
WERLA volunteers gain the rewarding experience of rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing our native wildlife. WERLA is happy to welcome anyone excited to lend a helping hand. Those who join our team are asked to volunteer one day per week. Opportunities to attend educational events and plan fundraisers are also available. Send us an email at werlainc@gmail.com with your attached volunteer application. Thank you for caring!
