Volunteer opportunities abound!
In addition to 3x-daily (365 days per year) “hands-on” interaction with the dogs at our SAFE PLACE shelter (809 Rockford Rd SW) there are many other ways to help:
- Provide temporary (foster) care
- Assist during open house hours (Saturdays, 10-2) at the shelter
- Help with a fundraising event (prep, attend, or re-stock afterwards)
- Take photos and videos for website/YouTube posting
- Solicit businesses for in-kind donations
- Write grant proposals
- Assemble raffle baskets
- Tidy up our DOGGY DEPOT store (as needed)
- Redeem bottles and cans (that have been collected at the shelter)
- Donate a tote of your gently used stuff to DOGS FOREVER’s Stuff Etc acct
- Perform grounds maintenance (pull weeds, mow grass, shovel sidewalk)
- Place and monitor coin donation boxes at local businesses
- Sew/embroider mini-scarves for donated stuffed animals
