Volunteer opportunities cover a wide spectrum of activities, but all focus on making a difference, either directly or indirectly, in the lives of homeless pets. We need Volunteers to fill positions from administrative to fundraising to physical labor of caring for the animals and facilities.

Many of you want to help but are unable to offer foster care for a dog or financial assistance. There are many other ways you can assist in saving the lives of homeless pets. All it takes is a little time to share and an understanding of our mission.

Ways You Can Help

Fostering a Homeless Dog - see our Fostering Page

Help Get Us Noticed!
	We are working hard to get our name out there. If your school or church (or other group) is having an event where we can set up a table with our information please let us know! We would love to be apart of your community event! If you have a neighborhood newsletter or paper we want to be in it! Let us know how! We are poor so we can't be too extravagant though!

Sponsorship Volunteers!
	All you have to do is take the print out we send you into a local business and ask to speak to the owner or manager. The paperwork tells the rest. You don't have sell us, you can even just leave the information for them if you want! We just need people to do the footwork! It takes about 5-10 minutes out of your day on your time frame whenever you want! Your effort can save many lives and allow us to continue our efforts. We need monthly and event sponsors! ASAP!

Help with Thank You Cards
	We need someone to write thank you notes to adopters and donors . This can be done from your home!

Join our Adoption Team - Adoption Team Volunteers (must be at least 14 years old unless prior approval is given or you are accompanied by an adult)
	Adoption Team Volunteers hold several roles. Adoption Set Up - usually at 10.30 am on the day of the adoption . This entails assisting with tent set up, cage/pen set up, filling water bowls, placing dogs safely in their cages, hanging their cage cards, setting up the donations table and posting the street signs. Adoption Transport - helping to transport pets to and/or from the adoption back to their foster homes Adoption Assistants- staying at the adoption for 2-4 hours to assist in walking the dogs and talking to potential adopters and visitor to familiarize them with the group, our adoption procedures and to provide information on the animals and available resources. Adoption Break down - usually occurs starting at 4pm but if we have visitors looking at pets it could be delayed . Everything put in the "Adoption Set Up" as to be taken down and put in the vehicles!

K9 Taxi Drivers
	Provide transportation for dogs coming out of a shelter, needing to go to the vet or to their foster home. If you only have a couple of hours per week or month, this is a great way to help. Get your name added to the list and when we need you we will email or call you to see if you are available!

Special Events Helpers
	We need people who can take the ball and run with it. We need to find fundraising and special adoption opportunities. After the activity is approved, you would be in charge of coordinating the event for us along with the assistance of our Volunteer Coordinator. You can do this from your home on your own time. If you run across an event that might bring attention to our group and mission, let us know!


Fundraiser Help
	Are you comfortable talking to business owners? We need volunteers willing to assist in fund raising. This could consist of distributing donations jars to local business or presenting our donation pleas to people or businesses. For example: right now we need to find a person or business to sponsor our next microchip purchase. The sponsorship is $250. You would be supplied with any materials you need,. We also have donation cans we place in local businesses. We need help getting the businesses to allow this and in delivery.

Shelter Volunteers

Most of our dogs live in foster care. However, one of the foster homes is the licensed shelter for Forgotten Paws and houses most of the dogs. Volunteers in the shelter location assist the director with day-to-day activities:

Cleaning of cages and vacuuming of stray dog food that the dogs have knocked over
Pooper Scooping the yard
Spreading Mulch in the yard
Doing laundry and washing food bowls
Walking of dogs is also needed

If you are interested in volunteering, please send your name, address, phone number, what you are interested in doing and times available to our email address at info@forgottenpaws.com.
