VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Adoption Events
PAWS has at least one adoption event each month from 10:00am until 2:00pm at Petco. However, we sometimes have one that may be at a different location. Volunteers are needed to set-up & maintain cages, provide attention to the animals, and clean-up at event’s end. Please follow our Facebook page for exact dates & times. Part-time help is welcome.
Special Events/Fundraising
PAWS needs volunteers to set up displays, pre-event planning, processing paperwork, decorating, transporting supplies/animals, securing silent auction items, selling raffle tickets, selling merchandise, supervising booths, accepting donations, and much more! Since we are a nonprofit group, we have to hold fundraising events to pay for veterinary care. These events and the volunteers that put them together are the life line for our animals!!!! Please follow our Facebook page to remain up to date on upcoming events.

We always need assistance with event/organization promotion, developing materials for advertising events and educational information (brochures, fliers, posters, etc), fundraising, etc.
