The volunteer handbook is a compilation of personnel policies, practices and procedures
currently in effect in Animal Rescue of Carroll’s Volunteer Program.
This handbook is designed to introduce volunteers to the organization, familiarize you with
organizational policies as they pertain to you as a volunteer, provide general guidelines on
volunteer program rules, disciplinary procedures and other issues related to your volunteer
status and to help answer many of the questions that may arise in connection with your
volunteering at ARC.
This handbook does not purport to include every conceivable situation; it is merely meant as a
guideline, and unless laws prescribe otherwise, common sense shall prevail. Of course,
Federal, state, and/or local laws will take precedence over ARC policies, where applicable.
Policies are applied at the discretion of Animal Rescue of Carroll. ARC reserves the right to
change, withdraw, apply or amend any of our policies or benefits including those covered in this
handbook, at any time. Animal Rescue of Carroll may notify you of such changes via email, a
printed memo, notice, amendment to or reprinting of this handbook, but may, in its discretion
make such changes at any time, with or without notice and without a written revision of this
handbook.
