VOLUNTEERING WITH THE FRONT STREET ANIMAL SHELTER
|
| |
| VOLUNTEERS HELP SAVE LIVES! |
| |
| Join a wonderful group of people and make new friends -- both two- and four-legged! Giving the gift of your time is both rewarding and fulfilling. |
| |
| HOW CAN YOU HELP? |
| |
| The Front Street Animal Shelter is always looking for volunteers who want to help our animals find their new forever homes. We couldn't do it without our committed volunteers! You can be involved in a variety of different ways: helping with morning feeding and cleaning, the pet food pantry, walking the dogs, socializing the cats, fostering animals, special projects, fundraisers and events, and much more! |
| |
| WHO CAN HELP? |
| |
| The Front Street Animal Shelter welcomes volunteers of all ages! |
- If you are age 16 or older, you can volunteer independently.
- If you are from the ages of 12 to 15, you can enroll in our teen program or volunteer with your parent or guardian.
- If you are under the age of 12, you won't be able to volunteer at our shelter site, but can still help by working on community projects like a donation drive, newspaper projects, or pet treat bags. Please email the volunteer coordinator, Janice Wagaman, at jwagaman@cityofsacramento.org for more information on these projects.
- If you are a group leader and want to schedule a group project, please email the volunteer coordinator, Janice Wagaman, at jwagaman@cityofsacramento.org. Be sure to put "I Want to Schedule a Group Project", in the subject line of your email.
