Everything You Need to Know to Help Us Save Lives
At SOSARL, our vision is to help create and be part of a community in which companion pets are treated with kindness and respect, appropriate resources for pet guardianship success are readily available, and every individual’s needs are recognized and met.
To do this, we all need to be striving to be better…and to be better, we need to know better. While the Internet can be a great source of information, it can also take a lot of effort to find usable, relevant and accurate information. With this in mind, we have created a comprehensive resources intranet site for all of our volunteers: the SOSARL Volunteer Resource Center. This site is maintained and regularly updated with all the most relevant information to keep our volunteers well-supported in all of their SOS volunteer tasks.
Please bookmark this page for quick access to all the critical resources you will need as an SOS volunteer.
Featured on this site includes:
- Calendar of ALL SOSARL upcoming events (internal and public)
- New Volunteer onboarding materials
- Volunteer & Foster Handbooks
- Job descriptions and “How To” guidance for most SOS volunteer tasks (both written and short videos)
- Who Does What & Key Contacts
- A clear pathway to build your dog and rescue knowledge and take on more responsibilities at SOSARL.
- …and more!
The information included in the SOSARL VRC is intended to serve as your go-to resource for all the behavioral and protocol guidance you will need to be successful as an SOSARL volunteer, and to continue to evolve over time. If you have suggestions for the site, please email [email protected].
We know that by investing in our volunteers, we are also investing in the success of our animals and our adopters, as well as the sustainability of our ability to continue to do good work. The more we cultivate our resources (which include our humans, our dogs and our tools), the greater our impact will be in achieving our mission.
Thank you for being part of our community and wanting to know better so we can do better!
