Baltimore Humane Society’s Spay-Neuter Center
This volunteer position is not hands-on with animals but rather vital support to the Spay-Neuter Center’s daily needs in the areas of laundry, cage-cleaning, and surgical pack preparation. We need reliable and consistent volunteers that can commit to at least one shift Monday- Friday, for the 9am-12:30 shift or for the 12:30-4pm shift.
Responsibilities include:
· Surgical Laundry (mostly surgery drapes and towels)
· Cleaning Cages- “spot” cleaning throughout day and “full” cage cleaning for end of day
· Sweeping and Mopping the floors
· Cleaning surgical instruments and sterilizing surgical packs
· Preparing surgical scrub bins-Chlorhexidine Scrub (pink) and Chlorhexidine Solution (blue)
· Wrapping surgical packs to prepare them for sterilization
· Restocking supplies as necessary (paper towels, kitty litter, litter boxes, etc)
· Preparing testing materials and flea prevention for use in the surgery dept
The volunteers would be doing a number of these tasks each time they work a shift. Tasks may vary with each day and tasks may vary with the time of day that the volunteer is in the Spay-Neuter Center.
Some of the tasks require that someone be able to squat and bend but in general, they do not require any heavy lifting or wrestling with animals. Volunteers must be able to stand for for the duration of the 3.5 hour shifts.
Hours: Commitment: Just Fridays from 9am-12:30 or 12:30-4pm
