Help Needed
ADOPTION CENTER VOLUNTEER
We need YOUR help to cram all the possible puppy love and fun into each weekend we open our Adoption Center doors to the public. In other words, you will walk dogs, greet the public, and help people find their perfect match by creating a smooth and enjoyable adoption experience.
COLLECT NEEDED ITEMS
K-9 Angels maintains an Amazon Wish List of needed items. They also welcome donations of:
– Bath mats/rugs
– Bath-sized towels
– Wire crates (new or gently used, all sizes)
– Clorox cleaner & bleach
– Disinfectant wipes
I started working at K9 Angels 2 1/2 years ago and haven’t stopped volunteering since. Whether you are willing to foster, donate, or volunteer some (or a lot) of your time, it would be greatly appreciated! If you love playing with, walking, running, or just spending time with dogs in need, contact me ([email protected]) or sign up for orientation at K9 Angels website!
K9 Angels helps so many dogs (about 20 adoptions every weekend), and volunteering here is so much fun. You get to walk a bunch of sweet dogs for 3 hours at a time! And don’t forget about all of the puppies. There is also such a wide range of commitment. You can come a couple of times, or you can come every weekend and even foster the dogs.
My daughter who is 16 and I both volunteer.. It is great! The organization is wonderful and there are usually 6 people working a shift. This is my daughter’s passion. We foster puppies and she actually cares for them in her room and gets credit. It is only on weekends so it works with other activities and I feel it reduces stress… puppy kisses = love.
