<div><span>Each shift will be staffed with one Supervisor, 1-2 Animal Caregivers and one Helper. Supervisors will delegate tasks to ensure all duties are completed and monitor the progress of the animal for eventual transfer to a rehabilitator for conditioning and release. Both Animal Caregivers and Helpers will share the daily duties that include basic animal care animal feeding, cage cleaning, food preparation, laundry, dishes, sweeping and mopping. Animal Caregivers will be trained to assist Supervisors with the handling and weighing of animals, administering SQ fluids, medication, and the tubing of doves.</span><span><br></span></div><div><span>NOTE: Volunteers must be 14 years of age.

<strong>TWRC Wildlife Center</strong><span>&nbsp;is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization operated by an efficient, dedicated volunteer and part-time staff consisting of permitted rehabilitators, students, seniors, professionals, and animal lovers. TWRC, as we are known, was Houstons first urban wildlife emergency and rehabilitative care facility. Since our founding in 1979, we have had over 145,000 injured, orphaned, or ill wild animals pass through the hands of our caring volunteers.</span>
