As a Suncoast Humane Society volunteer, I agree that all work I do is on a voluntary basis and I am not eligible to receive any monetary payments or rewards.

Suncoast Humane Society feels that it is important for all volunteers to be current on their tetanus vaccinations if they will be handling animals as a Suncoast Humane Society volunteer.

If a volunteer has a question about the tetanus vaccination heor she is encouraged to consult a physician, at the volunteer’s own expense, to decide whether or not to be vaccinated against tetanus.

I have read, understand and agree to the above. Furthermore, I release Suncoast Humane Society from all responsibility that may occur because of my not being vaccinated against Tetanus and I understand that whatever decision I make regarding a Tetanus vaccination, is at my own risk.

After your submission our Volunteer Services Manager, Dawn Froncek, will be in touch to schedule your volunteer orientation.
