We will go over policies, procedures, specific volunteer opportunities, and take a tour of the shelter.
Opportunities to help exist in the following areas:
Offsite Pet Adoptions - The more volunteers we have, the more events we can hold, and the more lives can be saved.
Animal Photography - Whether you have a DSLR or a camera phone, your photos help get adopters' attention.
Fundraising - Assist the shelter with raising money for additional lifesaving programs.
Donations - Help the shelter collect donations of items and services it needs and build relationships with community partners.
Pet Retention - Help pet owners find alternatives to surrendering their animals to the shelter.
Rescue - Build relationships with rescue groups and arrange transports to areas where there is a shortage of pets available for adoption.
Marketing - Promote adoption at the shelter as an alternative to buying pets, specific events, FCAS services, and individual animals.
Community Outreach - Educate the community with regard to adoption, spay/neuter, tethering, and other relevant issues to help create a culture of responsible pet ownership and empower pet owners.
Pet Matchmaking - Help potential adopters choose the right pet.
Pet Detectives - Reunite owners with their lost pets.
TNR - Assist with FCAS's feral cat trap-neuter-release program.
Transport - Drive animals to adoption events, veterinarian appointments, and meet rescues.
Foster - Save a life by sharing your home with a homeless animal that needs some extra TLC before becoming available for adoption or until it is adopted.
Dog Behavior - Take dogs outside to burn off some energy, maintain their house-training, and teach them basic commands to make them more adoptable.
