Volunteers
Anyone who has ever cared for animals, especially exotic, knows that it is a 24/7 job. Here at Roos2u, it is not only our responsibility to feed our animals and keep their homes clean. We also strive to keep them healthy AND happy through enrichment, interaction and stimuli. Our animals are our family, and that is why they receive the special care we give. Although the work is hard and takes much patience, it is still a rewarding experience to see our animals happy in the end.
We are looking for volunteers, but not to just help out. We want to share this experience with you! Whether you wish to gain experience in animal care or just want to do something unique, perhaps this is the opportunity for you! This is not like volunteering at the zoo. You get to work behind the scenes, right alongside kangaroos and wallabies!
