Foster With Us

We have opportunities available to allow you to participate in a meaningful way with the flexibility to participate as your schedule allows. Volunteers need to be at least 16 years of age to volunteer. 


Fostering

Provide a temporary home for a rescued animal until an adoptive home is secured or provide a short term cage break for an overly stressed cat.. You will be saving a life as we take dogs and cats directly from euthanasia lists at shelters. If you are interested in fostering, please complete the foster home application for either a dog or a cat.


Application Screening

Join our dynamic cat and dog adoption teams and help us save more animals by screening adoption applications or assisting our Adoption Coordinators by doing vet and rental reference checks!


Adoption Counseling

Spend time on the weekends at the Adoption Center helping match adopters with their new furry friends. Adoption Counselors screen adopters and finalize adoptions – a fun and rewarding job!


Transportation

Drive animals from our shelter partners, to and from adoption events, between our Petsmart adoption centers and take our animals to medical appointments.


Events

Provide support for adoption events and/or special fundraising events throughout the year. 


Volunteer at our PetSmart adoption centers.

Cat care volunteers feed the residents, clean cages, socialize and play with them. We have morning and evening shifts every day of the year at our four adoption centers. DOG HANDLERS and Volunteers during our dog adoption fairs at Fair Lakes Petsmart Sundays 1-3 pm. Assist adopters during our weekend adoption hours by talking to them about dogs and helping them meet the dogs. 


Fundraising

Help us raise the funds needed to keep going! Consider an office donation drive; accept donations in lieu of gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries; hold an event at your home, at your favorite bar, at your church…anywhere you enjoy spending time; hold a bake sale; create an online giving page; set up a giving page on Facebook; and more! Ask us about all the diverse ways you can help raise the funds needed for our animals.
