By typing my name below I am providing an electronic signature and I acknowledge my answers are true and correct. I also give permission for a volunteer of HSSC to contact my personal references. I agree to follow the Volunteer Code at all times. I will remember that in all my dealings with the public as a volunteer, I am representing HSSC, and that the public will consider my words and actions regarding rescue activities representative of the attitude and positon of HSSC as an organization. If I enter into activities of a political or controversial nature, I am doing so an individual, separate from HSSC. • I accept full responsibility of expenses incurred by myself as a volunteer for HSSC. Although I may be reimbursed by HSSC, I must have prior approval from an officer of the Board of Directors, as well as the necessary documentation and receipts. • I will always remember that I represent a non-profit organization and cannot profit from any activity related to the organization • I understand that HSSC cannot guarantee or be held responsible for health, behavior, or temperament of any animal I may handle. • I understand that HSSC volunteer applications are subject to a reference check • I understand that it is my decision to volunteer for HSSC and I will not hold HSSC, nor any of its members, liable for any damage, injure or harm caused directly or indirectly through my volunteer activities. I understand a position on the board of directors is very demanding, time consuming and requires 100% dedication on my part. I understand there is a six month training period where I will be expected to interact with other board members, be involved in different volunteer areas and participate in community outreach events including fundraising. I also understand during this period I will have no voting rights and will be under observation by other senior board members. I am aware of the $35 membership fee. *
