The primary task of a Volunteer Animal Sanctuary Worker is to keep the animals in your care for happy, clean and well-fed. Cleaning cages, scrubbing cat boxes and walking dogs are top your task list. Delivering meals makes you quite popular with the animals, and as they eat, you help them become accustomed to receiving love and attention. Animal Sanctuary Workers are often working with animals that have experienced neglect so patience is important as you'll have to proactively build a sense of trust with each animal you look after.
