Please explain.
ICAS is an “open admission” shelter, meaning we must take in any animal coming through our doors. In a given year, we take in upwards of 6,000 animals. The volunteer program was formed to assist shelter staff in placing as many animals as possible in new homes, and providing care for them while they are housed at the shelter. Together we will work toward saving all healthy and treatable animals.

The ICAS volunteer program involves the usual animal handling risks including exposure to pet dander, hair and waste. Volunteers must be able to physically control any animal with which they are interacting, including rabbits, rodents, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and livestock. Animal behavior is unpredictable and the information that ICAS has in regards to any animal in the Animal Shelter may have been received via third parties and may or may not be accurate. Volunteers must be able to make sound decisions when handling animals and are required to report problems promptly to the Adoption Staff.
