Volunteers
If you love animals and are particularly interested in working with ones who need extra love and attention, please contact us. We would love to have you as a volunteer.
You can help in several ways.
- Volunteers work adoption days and speak to the public about our animal.
- Fostering an animal at your home is especially important and rewarding.
- There are many opportunities to transport an animal to meet it's new home or no-kill rescue. This normally consists of driving one hour to meet the next driver and may save the animal from being put to sleep.
- We can also use your help in cleaning or assembling kennels at our foster homes.
If you have any special skill or talent that may assist us, please let us know.
To My Foster Mom
There I sat, alone and afraid,
You got a call and came right to my aid.
You bundled me up with blankets and love.
And, when I needed it most, you gave me a hug.
I learned that the world was not all that scary and cold.
That sometimes there is someone to have and to hold.
You taught me what love is, you helped me to mend.
You loved me and healed me and became my first friend.
And just when I thought you'd done all you do,
There came along not one new lesson, but two.
First you said, "Sweetheart, you're ready to go.
I've done all I can, and you've learned all I know."
Then you bundled me up with a blanket and kiss.
Along came a new family, they even have kids!
They took me to their home, forever to stay.
At first I thought you sent me away.
Then that second lesson became perfectly clear.
No matter how far, you will always be near.
And so, Foster Mom, you know I've moved on.
I have a new home, with toys and a lawn.
But I'll never forget what I learned that first day.
You never really give your fosters away.
You gave me these thoughts to remember you by.
We may never meet again, and now I know why.
You'll remember I lived with you for a time.
I may not be yours, but you'll always be mine.
