Volunteering is a great way to learn more about ferret care, health, medication, and meet some of us crazy ferret people. It's fun, educational, and rewarding.
We are looking for volunteers that can come in on a regular schedule.

Time Commitment
At least one “shift” of 2-6 hours on the same day each week is helpful for consistency.

- When playtime is over we
- Clean out the playpens with disinfectant
- Put the playpen toys into the sink and wash them
- Put new toys into the playpens
Dress Code
T-shirts and jeans are appropriate. Do not wear anything that you would not be okay with getting somewhat dirty. Closed-toe shoes are also highly recommended.
