Volunteer Policies and Agreements
I am fully aware of the risks and hazards associated with volunteering for and participating in activities at or in connection with the Humane Society of Scott County (“Humane Society”). I am voluntarily participating in, and assuming all risks and hazards associated with, such activities. I release the Humane Society of Scott County from, and promise not to sue the Humane Society for, any and all responsibility and liability OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER in connection with any and all activities in which I may participate on behalf of, or in any way associated with, the Humane Society. I will indemnify and hold harmless the Humane Society of Scott County and its officers, agents, and employees from any and all loss, liability, damage, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that the Humane Society may incur due to my presence at the Humane Society or participation in Humane Society activities. I have read and understand the Humane Society’s Volunteer Program Guidelines and have completed volunteer orientation training. I agree to comply with all regulations, policies, and procedures of the Humane Society and understand that my failure to do so could result in my termination as a volunteer. I understand that as a volunteer with the Humane Society of Scott County, I will sometimes be exposed to personal information about members of the public when they relinquish or adopt animals and to internal policies and procedures that are considered sensitive. I understand that it is against the Humane Society’s policy to disclose any information about customers. I understand that disclosure or improper use of personal information obtained through my position as a volunteer could result in a lawsuit against myself and/or the Humane Society of Scott County. I also agree to refrain from repeating information obtained through my volunteer position at the Humane Society and to refrain from making disparaging and degrading remarks about this organization and policies with which I may not agree.
