WAIVER 

As an organization that deals with animals, the AniMeals non-profit does not have a medical or behavioral history of the animals that volunteers may come into contact with. A certain amount of risk is always involved, especially with unpredictable animals.

VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT 

In consideration of this opportunity to volunteer with AniMeals, I agree to the following terms and conditions, intending to be legally bound by them:

1. I will abide with the mission, rules, regulations, policies and programs of AniMeals.

2. If I stop being a volunteer, or upon request by AniMeals, I will promptly return all AniMeals supplies, equipment, records, moneys and other items in good, clean condition.

3. Considering that many of the positions at AniMeals require dealing with animals, serving the public, working outdoors and lifting up to 50 lbs. I certify that I am able to perform the essential functions of the position.

4. I assume the risk of being bitten, scratched or injured in connection with my volunteer work. AniMeals is not liable to me for any injuries, illness, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever, which I might suffer or sustain in connection with volunteer activities, unless they are the result of the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of AniMeals. I will indemnify, defend and hold the AniMeals organization harmless from and against any claims, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, costs or expenses whatsoever, sustained by any animal or person in connection with my intentional misconduct or grossly negligent performance of my volunteer activities, or my breach of AniMeals rules, regulations, policies and programs.

5. I understand that because I may be in contact with animals, it is important to discuss the tetanus vaccine with my physician. I release AniMeals from all responsibility that may occur because of my not pursuing this matter further and I understand whatever decision I make is at my own risk. I have read, understand and agree to the above tetanus information.

6. I acknowledge and understand that as a volunteer of AniMeals, I am not covered by AniMeal’s workers compensation or any other insurance policy for any damages or injuries I may sustain during volunteer activities.

7. I understand the AniMeals may refuse volunteer applications or discontinue volunteer positions for any reason.

8. I have accurately and truthfully completed this Volunteer Application and Agreement.

9. Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. This Agreement is binding upon AniMeals, me and my respective heirs, successors, assigns, executors, and personal representatives.

I have read, understand and agree to the above. I certify that the information provided here is accurate and complete. I authorize reference and background checks as necessary for specific positions.
