Reasons you would like to volunteer for PPH?

I understand that by becoming a volunteer, I am joining a team of volunteers that are committed to saving lives. I understand that PPH is a 100% volunteer organization and everyone depends on each other. If I fail to do what I promise to do then another volunteer will have to cover for me and that could mean someone has to take unpaid time from work.

My services to PPH are provided strictly in a voluntary capacity as a volunteer, and without any express or implied promise of salary, compensation or other payment of any kind whatsoever. My services are furnished without any employment-type benefits, including employment insurance programs, worker’s compensation or any accrual of vacation or sick time.

I will familiarize myself and comply with PPH’s policies and procedures applicable to Volunteers. In particular, I fully understand that PPH expects high standards of moral and ethical treatment of animals. As being part of PPH, I agree to be respectful to others while in public representing the organization as well as on social media.

I understand that PPH, without notice or hearing, may terminate my services as a volunteer at any time, with or without reason.

I understand that public relations is an important part of volunteer’s activity on behalf of PPH. I hereby authorize PPH to use any photographs of me in its possession for public relation purposes. I ask that PPH use reasonable efforts to give me advance notice of any such use, but such notification is not a condition to release photographs
for public relation purposes.

I understand that as part of my volunteer work and/or fostering, I will come into contact either by directly handling, fostering, or through assistance in their care and adoption. Handling of animals and other Volunteer activities on behalf of PPH may place me in a hazardous situation and could result in injury to me or my personal property. I understand that working with animals carries a risk of injury, and that it is possible that I, my family and/or guests could be bitten, scratched, and/or otherwise injured, and injuries could result in hospitalization or even death. I am taking full responsibility of these risks and hold harmless and release all Parties associated with PPH, Directors, Heirs, Volunteers, personal representatives and assigns.

I understand that PPH is not responsible in the unlikely event of any personal pets becoming ill or bitten while I am volunteering with PPH. Preventative measures need to be taken.

My signature to this volunteer liability release attests to my intent to hold harmless and release from all liability Paw Print Hearts, Inc., any attended venue or facility and any of their past, present or future Directors, Officers, agents, volunteers, employees or assigns, from all acts which are related to the normal performance of required and implied duties. My signature, and/or agreement below, whether original, by fax or any other electronic means, is valid as if it were an original signature.

I give PPH permission to verify any information given in this application.

By signing below, I hereby accept a position as a volunteer for Paw Print Hearts, Inc. once I am approved and have attended orientation and training and upon the following understandings:

While Volunteering for PPH, you will become familiar with Processes, Systems, and related information. You agree to not share any of the information, personal conversations, systems, or processes with others, without prior approval, whether you are sharing the information with others within or outside of the rescue.
