Volunteer Opportunities for Paws Of My Heart

 

There are many opportunities for volunteers to be active in the organization to help keep it operating and running smoothly

including donations and foster care.

        

Volunteer, Alina is Paws' Littlest Volunteer! She is the daughter of Dolores, Paws' Most Dedicated Volunteer. Alina provides pet therapy for the

cats at the shelter. Alina is pictured here holding her favorite kitten, Tinkerbell aka "Tink". Tink allows Alina to carry her for hours without making a peep!

Thanks Dolores and Alina for volunteering at Paws of Heart!

 

“Off Site Adoption Days”


Off site adoption days are held at some local stores on weekends. Walmart, Giant Eagle, Pets Supplies Plus and maybe by summer-Petsmart.
We need volunteers to assist with speaking with the public at our table that we set up with our cats and kittens. Volunteers can observe members and learn the ways we screen our adopters, questions we ask and answers we look for. We also get asked a lot of questions about cat care, and about our organization, you will learn all of this in training. We set up from noon til 5 pm. So, anyone interested in assisting at these stores, can meet methere at 11:30 to help set up. Volunteering the afternoon also relieves members to use restrooms and eat (much appreciated).
This area requires approx. 4-5 hours. If you cannot be there for the entire adoption afternoon, any time you can give of yourself is much appreciated! Even one hour gives a break for restrooms etc..

 

Volunteer, Bernie (3rd from right) helped with and found Barney's adopter! Bernie volunteers up at the haven, cleans and has a special way with

socializing the cats, and has contributed alot of things to the haven including a donator of the loveseats we have in the lobby area. Bernie is a true asset!
