34. Optional & Confidential: Are you a person living with HIV/AIDS?
    To ensure the health and safety of our clients and our volunteers, PAWS/LA will not assign a volunteer who is HIV+ to certain tasks where the possibility of infection from a pet may be possible. Therefore, the following question is asked on an optional basis.
35. Yes

    By typing your full name and the date below, you agree to the following:
    PAWS/LA volunteer agreement. I understand that confidentiality is of essence when dealing with all PAWS/LA clients, and I agree not to discuss in detail my contact with a PAWS/LA client with anyone outside of PAWS/LA. I also understand that I am not to disclose any information regarding a client to anyone other than authorized PAWS/LA staff. Should I be dealing with a client on a regular basis, I will report any problems to PAWS/LA staff immediately. I agree to observe PAWS/LA policies and procedures. If I am providing transportation, I agree to provide PAWS/LA with proof of insurance. I understand that: 1) failure to meet my commitment to clients; 2) any violation of client confidentiality; 3) failure to observe PAWS/LA policies and procedures; 4) abusive behavior towards any PAWS/LA client/staff member/volunteer; or 5) theft from PAWS/LA, a client, staff member or another volunteer will result in the immediate removal of my status as a PAWS/LA volunteer. I further understand that I, not PAWS/LA, am responsible for my own wellbeing. If I feel unable to fulfill my responsibilities either because of health or uncertainty of my interaction with a client or companion animal, I will contact PAWS/LA immediately. PAWS/LA is not liable for any injury, physical or mental, which may occur during my volunteer service.
