Where should you park at the ranch?*
- In the loading spots close to Lucy's Lodge
- In the turn-around lane
- Anywhere I please
- In the Barking Lot or a marked space on the east side of the drive
Thank you so much for always using the Barking Lot or marked spaces on the east side of the drive. Please avoid parking in the no-parking areas, and thank you for not blocking the drive at any time (even when you will be there "just for a few minutes"). HOWEVER... we do offer loading spots at the front that are reserved for drop-offs & for people with disabilities.
Should I bring my bag or purse and my food inside with me?*
- Yes
- No
It's best to leave items in your car or at home. Also, dogs sometimes have food aggression, so we don't allow people food or even dog treats in the dog pens. However, if you take a dog on a walk solo, feel free to take treats with you!
Where should you check in when you arrive?*
- Lucy's Lounge
- Lucy's Lodge
Thank you for helping us learn your name and insure we account for you in the event of an emergency! The sign-in sheet is found just inside the door of Lucy's Lodge.
What is the first thing the dogs need after you sign in at Lucy's Lodge?*
- Food & Treats
- Medicine
- A Walk
- Let outside to go potty!
Remember not all rescue dogs are familiar with a doggie door, and sometimes they are too small or too big to use them. Additionally, because our heating & cooling costs are high, please keep the people doors closed while the dogs go outside.
How will I know what and how much to feed the dogs?*
- All dogs get the same type & amount of food
- Check the volunteer communication board for special instructions
- My mentor will lead me through this the first time & I can always check back in with my mentor or other leadership team member
- Two of the above are correct
- All of the above are correct
The communication board will alert you to any special considerations for feeding. Rest easy... your mentor will walk you through this the first time.
How will I know what to do when I come to the ranch?*
- A mentor volunteer will be available to show me the ropes
- The leadership team contact information is on the communication board & I can text any of them for help
- I am free to snoop around, open doors, drawers, and cabinets & make myself at home. This is a home for me too!
- All of the above
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!! We want you to feel comfortable and at home. Nothing is off limits, and we are happy to help you if you have questions.
Who pays for everything for the dogs & the ranch, and how does all the work get done??*
- Imagine FURever Ranch is 100% volunteer driven
- Imagine FURever Ranch is 100% donation driven
- Imagine FURever Ranch has no paid staff
- All of the above
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!! This mission needs YOU! Do you have talents & gifts to share? Do you see places where improvements can be made or things that are missing? PLEASE let a leadership team member know so we can keep learning & getting better!
What if I don't like what is happening or have a conflict with someone at the ranch?*
- Imagine FURever Ranch is a Christian Community
- Imagine FURever Ranch encourages kindness & grace with each other
- Imagine FURever Ranch encourages offering the benefit of the doubt to each other
- Imagine FURever Ranch encourages a spirit of forgiveness and relationship repair
- All of the above
At Imagine FURever Ranch, we know there will be times we don't understand each other, times we miscommunicate, and times we disagree. But that's okay! We can still be a loving & supportive Christian Community if we stay committed to our culture & our Missions.
How do I fulfill my AFFIRMATIVE DUTY of CARE to stay updated and informed?*
- READ and COMPLY with posted signs.
- READ and COMPLY with PUPdates live updates.
- No signs posted at the Ranch are important for me to read.
- None of the PUPdates apply to my volunteer time.
- READ and COMPLY with all posted signs and the PUPdates.
Even after your time with a mentor at the Ranch, there will frequently be updates or necessary changes to the guidelines for Volunteers. We post signs and maintain a live updates document called PUPdates to keep everyone informed and as safe as possible.
