If you love animals and have some time to give, Volunteer Today!

Save-A-Life always needs pet-loving volunteers. It is our volunteers who have kept us going for over 50 years.

Foster

Love to share your heart and home with an abandoned or abused pet? We always need volunteers to foster.

Dog Walker/Holder

Can’t foster but love dogs? We can always use dog-walkers and dog-holders during our mobile adoption hours.

Fundraising

Are you a skilled organizer? How about organizing a special fundraising event for us?

Photography

What about photography skills? We could use some help during mobile adoption to take pictures of our adoptable animals and to post them on the web.

Phone Calls

Hectic schedule? We can use some help with answering our information line. It can be done from your home phone and we train you.

Writing

Like to write? We can always use articles for the newspaper or better yet-how about publishing our own newsletter.

About Fostering...

Save-A-Life does not operate a shelter. All of our pets are in foster homes. We believe that having the pets in homes provides them with a more secure and loving environment for them to begin to thrive after coming from animal control. The more foster homes we have, the more animals that can be saved. Fostering a homeless animal is a very rewarding endeavor. Save-A-Life provides food for the foster pet and pays for all required veterinary care via Save-A-Life’s approved veterinarians. The foster parent must be responsible for getting the foster pet to veterinary appointments and also to the mobile adoptions at PetSmart so the public can meet the foster pet in person. If you think you are ready to open your heart and home to foster a homeless pet, please complete a Volunteer Application either online or bring one to our mobile adoption at PetSmart on Saturday!
