Foster
Parents
|
We are always looking for responsible foster parents
to care for our animals. Most of our animals come to us in need of
TLC and we provide them with a loving foster home to be sure they
receive it. Sometimes we have a shy dog that needs to socialized, an
orphaned litter of kittens that need to be bottle fed or an
expectant mama that needs a quiet place to have her kittens. Our
foster parents are supplied with everything they need to care for
one of our animals. Food, bedding, leashes, litter pans, you name
it. St. Francis provides all medical care. All you have to do is
provide a caring, loving household. |

Dog Handlers
As a volunteer dog handler, you will be trained on how to hold a dog
during our Adoption Day events. The Adoption Day is the perfect
place to show off the dog you're handling and introduce him to
prospective owners. Generally a dog handler is scheduled to attend one adoption day each month (but
you can attend more if you wish)! During the Adoption Day dog
handlers are responsible for interacting with their dog. You may
want to teach the dog how to sit, take the opportunity to groom him
and, of course,
just plain love him up. We try to
match every volunteer with a dog they are comfortable with.
And for the younger teens, if
you are under sixteen years of age you need to volunteer with an adult.
Animal Transporters
An Animal Transport volunteer does just that. They
transport animals. Our dogs and cats need to be picked up from
animal control facilities, taken to veterinarian appointments,
delivered to foster homes, transported to Adoption Days...you
get the idea. Every once in a while we need a
transporter who is willing to meet other rescue groups to deliver or
receive animals. St. Francis partners with many organizations to
help assure that all homeless pets have a safe place to stay.
T
Fundraisers
If you aren't able to foster an
animal or commit to helping each month with an adoption day, you may
want to consider
helping with one of our many fundraising events. We can use just
about any type of help – from planning and organizing – to
advertising – to set up, participation and clean up at the event –
to generating ideas for new activities.
