ANIMAL CARE PROGRAM
Animal and wildlife volunteering is a fulfilling, enjoyable, and distinctive opportunity. With the help of our Animal Care Program, volunteers can spend quality time with their favorite pets in animal shelters or save stray animals from cruelty, abuse, and illegal hunting.
Together, our Animal Care Volunteer and Intern members make up a growing community of animal lovers who support Go Volunteering’s mission and understand the important part that education can play in fostering a more compassionate society. If you have a passion for domestic animals and wildlife, volunteering for wildlife conservation and the care of animals is the ideal opportunity for you!
About Animal Care Program in Jaipur
The Animal Care Program in Jaipur is perfect for veterinary students, or animal lovers interested in providing care and shelter to animals in need. Animals and birds are cared for at the shelter. The shelter’s helpline receives calls from members of the community who are concerned about injured or stray animals.
Peacocks, dogs, cats, cows, monkeys, rabbits, eagles, parrots, pigeons, and crows are among the animals cared for at the shelter. Volunteers are a valuable asset to the overworked staff in maintaining the centre due to a lack of funding.
Volunteers with a strong will and a strong mind are needed for the Animal Care Center Volunteer. This is a difficult project with physical demands and long hours. We also organize Women Empowerment Projects, Work with Elephants Jaipur, Childcare Programs in Jaipur and Orphanage Program in Jaipur.
NOTE – To join this Volunteer Programming in India, all volunteers are required to must have rabies vaccination & certificate of vaccination.
