Areas Where Volunteers are Needed
AFV
Shelter: Volunteers
are scheduled at the shelter Monday through Saturday
from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (minimum of two hours required.) Tasks
include walking the animals,
feeding, bathing, grooming, cleaning/maintaining cages, and assisting
the staff where needed.
Off-site
Adoption Shows: Every Saturday at the Temecula PETCO
and the Lake Elsinore
PETsMART. Volunteers are needed from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We're looking
for responsible volunteers to work the entire shift, every Saturday.
Work consists of setting up/breaking down kennels, walking dogs,
answering questions from the public, and assisting in the adoption
process.
Yard
Checkers: We
visit the yard of every family who adopts one of our dogs to make
sure
they have a suitable environment for him including a sturdy fence,
plenty of space for his size, shade, etc. We need people from Fallbrook
to Perris and Hemet. Yard checkers must be at least 18 years of
age and have their own transportation and automobile insurance.
Foster
Parents:
Many animal lives are saved
each year by people like you who take shelter animals into their
homes to care for until they are adopted. Fostering frees up space
in the shelter and gives animals extra time to find their special
homes. Puppies and kittens, as well as adult animals, need foster
homes. For information on becoming a foster parent, please call
our foster program coordinator at 951-674-0618 or
print out a foster parent application
and foster parent guidelines
sheet and mail to us. Foster parents must be over 18 years of age
or have parental permission.
Fundraising
Events: Volunteers are
needed to help at fundraising events throughout the
year. Duties may include set up/break down, registration, coordinating
people and animals, or working booths. Our Dog Walk in the
spring and Pet Parade and Blessing of the Animals in
the fall are some of our larger events at which we depend on the
help of volunteers.
Seniors'
Pet Day: AFV
understands the special bond senior citizens can form with animals.
We regularly take animals to local senior communities to visit with
the residents. If you have a pet who would enjoy making the day
brighter for a group of seniors, please consider joining us for
a Seniors' Pet Day. You and your pet can make a difference!
Shelter
Office: Volunteers
are needed at the shelter office to help with filing.
Foster
Coordinator Assistant: We are
looking for a volunteer to come to the shelter Friday afternoons
to help our foster coordinator get ready for our weekend off-site
adoption shows.
Newsletter:
Our newsletters are mailed quarterly
and we always need help inserting pages and donation envelopes and
tabbing shut for mailing. Newsletters are readied for mailing at
our administrative office at 33751 Mission Trail in Wildomar.
