When you volunteer with PetPromise you make a difference for
homeless animals whether you help place a pet in a loving home, deliver dog food to a needy family with pets, write an article for the PawPrint, help build a shelter for feral cats, or solicit sponsorships for the annual PetPromise Rescue Run.
ways you can help:
Make follow-up calls
Volunteer will make outbound phone calls from his/her home to PetPromise adopters. The goal is to check on the adopted animal and to make sure that the adopter does not have any questions. A script and list of questions to ask are provided. Any contacts that are found to be in need of assistance are forwarded to the appropriate PetPromise specialists.
Write for The Pawprint
Contribute educational articles to the PetPromise PawPrint (a quarterly publication dedicated to educating the public on pet welfare issues.)
Prepare mailings
Volunteer to spend 4-5 hours one evening each quarter to help compile the PetPromise PawPrint and other PetPromise mailings. (Snacks & fun usually involved!)
Reach out to the community
Commmunity outreach volunteers deliver food and supplies to people with pets in need, transport animals to and from veterinarian visits, and assit with trapping of feral cats and kittens and make appointments for their spay/neuter surgeries.
Foster a homeless pet
Foster volunteers provide a home for animals until they can be adopted. PetPromsie provides for the food and medical needs of the pet while in foster care. For details: Fostering for PetPromise
