Volunteers & Foster Carers
Volunteer program
The Volunteer program allows residents to participate in tasks which add value to the care and wellbeing of the animals, but are not considered routine and part of a paid employee's role.
Volunteers can also assist with tours conducted at the Animal Management Centre.
Once fully conversant with the requirements of responsible animal management, volunteers serve as ambassadors in community education and awareness at Logan's dog off-leash areas and training promotions, such as seminars, to help owners of barking dogs remedy the problem.

Foster carer program
The Foster carer program involves the use of foster carers to house mother cats and dogs and their litter offsite to the Animal Management Centre to minimise and control disease exposure and transfer.
Appropriate nurturing and care is required and must be provided on a consistent basis and sometimes constantly.
Dogs that have been kennelled for long periods of time will have an opportunity to have home stays with foster carers to give them a break from confinement which can cause extreme adverse reactions.
