1 Volunteer Orientation

2 Mission Providing Compassionate Care & Placement for Animals in Need.

3 Shelter Funding Prairie Paws Animal Shelter receives $109,909 in funding from various governmental sources. This represents 14% of our budget. Our program revenue (adoption, return to owner fees, intake fees, etc.) represents another 18% while we have to fundraise 68% or $526,151 per year to support our operations.

4 Shelter Business Models Open Admissions facility o Accept all animals o In many open admissions facilities euthanasia numbers are high due to the volume of animals entering the shelter o Resources are very limited for animals with medical or behavioral problems Limited Admissions facility o Intake by appointment o More counseling with potential relinquishers o More resources available to help animals medically and behaviorally o Adoption numbers increase o Foster Program grows

5 No-Kill V. Kill No-kill (limited admissions) Do not euthanize animals for space Only euthanize animals for aggression/medical reasons Are able to devote significant resources to the animals Selective about the animals they accept When full, intake stops Typically private facilities Kill (open admissions) Euthanize for population control Cannot turn animals away accept all who come to them Limited resources to devote to the animals Many adoptable animals are euthanized because space is so limited Typically municipal facilities, but can also be private

6 What is No Kill? To qualify for a no kill status a shelter must maintain a 90% save rate for all animals entering its doors.

7 Stats Total Adopted Total Euthanized 2% 6% 9% 45% 50% 135% 146% 220% 226% 278% Total Reclaimed

16 How Volunteers Make A Difference Provide socialization and exercise to animals which provides enrichment to their daily lives You are an Ambassador for Prairie Paws within the community Assist in the development of new and existing programs Build our reputation by providing great service to the public

17 Things to know Sign in when you arrive and sign out when you leave. Very important. Helps us qualify for grants. Age limitations: 13 and under requires a parent. Smoking is only allowed in designated areas. Please wear close-toed shoes and long pants. Volunteer Communications are sent via s The volunteer board has information on recurring volunteer times and jobs.

18 Policies The policies at PPAS must be followed. If you have a question you can ask any staff member and they can assist you. All policies and procedures are to be followed as directed by the staff. If you have a question about a policy you can ask the Director of Operations.

19 Disease Control Controlling the transmission of disease is an ongoing struggle we face daily Washing/Sanitizing your hands after every animal you touch will help prevent the spread of disease Proper disinfection of kennels, dishes and laundry is essential in helping us eliminate any disease that is present in the facility If you see an animal with diarrhea please don t take them out of their kennel. Diarrhea may be a medical concern.

20 Laundry There are two laundry rooms on each dog wing. Dirty laundry is to be placed in the colored dirty laundry baskets. The white clean baskets are to be used after the laundry has completed its cycle. Baskets will be marked as either clean or dirty with a marker on the sides of the baskets. Please be aware of which basket you are using to help us prevent disease transmission.

21 Dishes The dishes protocol is posted above the sink This is one of the few occasions where bleach is used as a disinfectant in the shelter. The first sink is used to scrub the dishes with soap and water to eliminate any organic material The second sink is used to rinse any soap residue The third sink is to be filled with a 1:32 dilution of bleach. 1:32 is not harmful to the skin or the lungs but higher bleach concentrations are. Be careful to follow the protocol. Dishes are to soak for 10 minutes before being rinsed and set out to dry.

22 How to use a Slip Lead Do not wrap the leash around your hand.

23 How to use a Slip Lead Open kennel door, block with your foot and slip the loop over the dogs head.

24 Walking Dogs Avoid Dog to Dog interaction unless otherwise approved by staff. Do not walk dogs through the lobby on days we are open. Always check doors and corners to make sure there isn t a dog near. Avoid walking dogs near cars. Always make sure you are using your lead correctly. Report any concerns to staff.

25 Safety Your safety and the safety of the animals are our biggest concern. Please read all disclaimers on kennel doors. Keeping you fingers out of the kennels will not only prevent bites but helps with disease transmission. Some dogs cannot tell the difference between a treat and a finger. Sanitizing your hands/hand washing after handling each animal prevents disease transmission.

26 Stray Hold Medical Behavioral Not available These animals are never allowed out of their kennels.
