🐾 GIDDINGS ANIMAL SHELTER – UPDATED VOLUNTEER PROGRAM! 🐾

We’re excited to announce that we have updated our volunteer hours sign-up system to help us better keep track of volunteer hours and make scheduling easier for everyone! ❤️

📅 We have created a Google Doc volunteer sign-up sheet for volunteers who would like to participate:
• During the week at the shelter
• At weekend adoption events
• At special events and other volunteer opportunities

We ask that all volunteers use the sign-up sheet so we can better organize volunteer participation and accurately track your hours.

📋 Attached to this post is our Volunteer Information Packet, which includes:
🐾 Volunteer Handbook
🐾 Volunteer Information Sheet
🐾 Volunteer Waiver
🐾 Handwritten Volunteer Hours Tracker

🏆 NEW VOLUNTEER TIER SYSTEM!
We have also implemented a new 3-Tier Volunteer Program:

🥉 BRONZE – Basic Level
Everyone starts here! Volunteers learn the basics of shelter volunteering, including cleaning and behind-the-scenes shelter operations.

🥈 SILVER – Secondary Level
As volunteers gain experience and hours, they can move into more animal-related activities as approved by Animal Control or the ACO Supervisor.

🥇 GOLD – Top Level
Our highest volunteer level includes opportunities such as public events, adoption events, taking animals out, public outreach, and additional ways to help the shelter and our community.

Each level has its own responsibilities, opportunities, and rewards as volunteers gain experience and hours! 🎉

We appreciate everyone who gives their time, energy, and heart to help the animals at Giddings Animal Shelter. ❤️🐶🐱

If you would like more information about our volunteer program, please call us, send us a message, or email us. We’d love to have you join our volunteer family! 🐾

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one animal at a time! 💕

🇺🇸 September 11th — We Remember 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who answered the call.

We also remember the four-legged heroes who worked tirelessly alongside first responders. 🐾❤️ Search-and-rescue dogs searched through the rubble, therapy animals comforted survivors and responders, and countless animals played a role in helping people through one of our nation’s darkest days.

Their courage, loyalty, and compassion will never be forgotten.

Today, we honor every hero—two-legged and four-legged. 🇺🇸🐾

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget. ❤️🤍💙

Every bag of food, every clean blanket, every walk, every share, and every helping hand means so much to our shelter and the animals in our care. 🐾💕

We couldn’t do what we do without our amazing community! Thank you for being part of their journey. 🏡🐾

🇺🇸🐾 INFORMATIONAL FRIDAY: LABOR DAY PET SAFETY 🐾🇺🇸

Labor Day weekend means cookouts, family gatherings, outdoor fun, and fireworks—but it can also bring extra risks for our furry family members!

Here are a few tips to help keep your pets safe:

🍔 WATCH THE BBQ TABLE
Keep pets away from foods like onions, garlic, grapes, chocolate, fatty foods, and bones. Never let them eat scraps from the grill!

🔥 KEEP PETS AWAY FROM THE GRILL
Hot grills, charcoal, grease, and lighter fluid can cause serious burns or poisoning.

🌡️ WATCH THE HEAT
Texas heat can still be dangerous! Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, shade, and a cool place to rest.

🎆 PREPARE FOR FIREWORKS
If fireworks are being used, keep pets indoors in a secure room. Close windows and doors and provide comforting background noise.

🏷️ CHECK THEIR ID
Make sure your pet's collar, tags, and microchip information are up to date. More pets go missing during holiday weekends because of loud noises and open doors.

🚪 WATCH THE DOOR
With guests coming and going, pets can easily slip outside. Consider keeping them in a quiet, secure room during gatherings.

🍺 KEEP ALCOHOL OUT OF REACH
Alcohol can be dangerous for pets. Keep drinks and unattended cups away from curious noses!

❤️ MOST IMPORTANTLY…
Keep an eye on your pets, give them a safe place to retreat, and make sure they are included in the holiday safely!

🇺🇸 From all of us at Giddings Animal Shelter, we wish everyone a happy and SAFE Labor Day weekend! 🐶🐱❤️
