Volunteers prepare Kongs for dogs, providing enrichment through stimulating mealtime activities. The task promotes physical and mental well-being and reduces boredom, playing a critical role in preparing the dogs for life in their new adopted home.
The Kong Kitchen Attendant position is vital to shelter operations at HHS, with over 600 Kongs cleaned and stuffed daily.
Responsibilities include:
Stuffing Kongs for Enrichment: Fill Kongs with kibble, peanut butter, pumpkin, or sweet potato.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Sanitize and scrub Kongs, inspect for damage, and replenish the kennel's stock of Kongs.
Please contact volunteers@halifaxhumanesociety.org if you have any questions or issues.
