Volunteer Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct

I will understand, communicate and uphold Homeward Bound’s mission:

Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization which rescues and heals displaced, abandoned, and homeless Golden Retriever and Golden mixes, regardless of their age or health. Homeward Bound secures safe, loving homes through a comprehensive adoption program, and also provides lifetime sanctuary for Goldens that cannot be adopted.

I will place the safety, care, physical and emotional well being of the animals at Homeward Bound first, and I promise to follow any instruction or feedback given to me to ensure this level of safety and care.

I promise to respect confidential information and follow all processes and procedures.

I will participate to the best of my abilities and promise to help others when/if needed.

I promise to be dependable, and if I am unable to keep my commitment, I will notify the appropriate person or find a replacement.

I will do all that I can to make Homeward Bound a welcoming place for potential adopters, volunteers and visitors.
