Good Mews

Information and Guidelines

Welcome to Good Mews and thank you for choosing to volunteer with our organization.  Volunteers are one of the most valuable assets Good Mews has. Without you we could not accomplish what we do.

Being a volunteer is a very rewarding endeavor.  Whether you are maintaining the cleanliness of the shelter, working on a fundraising event, petting a cat or helping with adoptions you are very important to us.  Your volunteer efforts can have a huge impact on an animal who has never known love and friendship.  Sometimes the impact is immediate and sometimes it takes time, but in either case, the result is very gratifying and uplifting.

General Volunteer Requirements

Good Mews requires that all volunteers be a minimum of 18 years of age or must be accompanied by a legal guardian who is at least 18 years old when performing a volunteer function.  Specific volunteer opportunities may have other requirements about age (i.e. people who work beverage booths at festivals must be 21). 

Every person entering into the kitty areas must sign an access agreement.  If you filled out the access agreement at the time of your orientation, you do not need to fill out another.  However any friends or family members you bring with you must sign an access form.

Please review the attached “Volunteer Information, Guidelines and Expectations” manual which includes important information and guidelines once you become an active volunteer.
