    Description

    Dog Kennel Cleaner

    The health of our shelter animals is our top priority, which is exactly why we clean every dog kennel every day starting at 8:00 every morning until about 11:00 or 11:30. New volunteers will be paired with a staff member or experienced volunteer to learn the basics of kennel cleaning.

    Dog Kennel Cleaning includes several steps. First being, cleaning up the "leavings" of the previous night. After which, we are able to completely disinfect the kennels; rinse hair, food and other solids into our drains to be picked up and thrown away. Once the disinfectant has sat for its full 10 minute period, pens are dried and reset up with beds, toys and water bowls.

    All help we are able to get is greatly apprecatied, and will be met with many tails wags and kitty kisses.
