    Mammals: We are looking for a volunteer who would like to be trained to feed and care for our resident small mammals on Tuesdays. Work involves feeding, watering, and cleaning the animals' enclosures.

    Chickens: We are looking for a volunteer who would like to be trained to feed and care for our resident chickens on Monday evenings, Tuesday mornings and/or Wednesday evenings. Work involves feeding, watering, and cleaning the animals' enclosures, as well as letting them out for the day or putting them away for the night.

    Time required: about 20-30 minutes weekly.

    Because formal training will be provided by our Animal Care team, we are seeking volunteers who are able to provide us with a long-term commitment.
