Why can't Youth Volunteers work directly with our Rescue pets without Adult Supervision?
The Pet Rescue Center is a non-profit organization run mainly by volunteers. Volunteers are not considered employees and thus are not covered by our insurance or under our workers comp. We have tried to work with our insurance in an effort to allow our Youth Volunteers to be able to walk and play with our rescue pets. It is always unknown as to the behavior of animals that we rescue many times from stray or abusive circumstances. It takes time to assess the risks and behaviors of animals and due to their unpredictable nature we are unable to have Youth work directly with our animals without adult or guardian supervision.
