Be A Volunteer with AVAnimal Rescue
The gift of time and attention is one of the most important ways you can
help AVAnimal Rescue.
Volunteers are vital to our mission of caring for homeless canines and
felines and working to create a more compassionate and humane community.
We would not be able to provide the care needed without the commitment,
dedication, and reliability of volunteers who invest their time and energy.

Listed below are several tasks that volunteers do at AVAnimal Rescue. Some
activities involve working directly with the dogs and cats waiting for
new homes. Others are tasks that indirectly assist the animals, but are
still critical to their well-being. Please take a look at these volunteer
activities, and follow the steps to sign up and get started. Whatever you
choose to do will make a huge difference!
Volunteer Job Opportunities
Canine Associates
Volunteers work with dogs that are temporarily housed by AVAnimal Rescue,
teaching good kennel manners to them. Canine Associates are trained to
use the correct equipment and give individualized attention to the dogs,
including comforting, walking, feeding, grooming and cleaning
Feline Associates
Volunteers work with the cats housed in the shelter, providing them with
cuddling, comforting, playing, grooming, feeding, and cleaning.
Grooming
Sometimes our canine and feline guests need some beauty spa time. A bath,
comb, and haircut helps with appearances and adoptions.
Mobile Outreach
Volunteers travel to popular shopping areas areas where we take a few of
our dog and cat guests to meet the public for adoptions. This outreach
increases community awareness of AVAnimal Rescue and facilitates adoption
of our animals. Volunteers help keep the animals calm, assist with future
adoptions and interact with the public. Mobile Outreach events are typically
held on Saturdays and Sundays, with an occasional weekday event.
Fostering
Volunteers who decide to become foster parents are providing a temporary
home for canines and felines with special needs - those who are very young,
ill or need individual help with socialization. Sometimes animals are fostered
when they just need a home environment prior to being adopted.
Special Events
Volunteers provide invaluable assistance in planning, implementing, and
staffing fundraising, outreach and educational events to raise funds and/or
awareness of AVAnimal Rescue and animal welfare.
Administrative Support
Volunteers provide clerical, data entry and data management support for
regular AVAnimal Rescues administrative functions, as well as doing
special projects.
Getting Started
Volunteering for AVAnimal Rescue is fun and very rewarding. You
will not only be helping the animals, but will meet others who share your
interests. The staff, Board of Directors and our four legged residents
are deeply appreciative of the commitment of time, energy and attention
by volunteers.
