| We Couldn't Do It Without You! Bark Avenue Foundation thrives on the support provided by volunteers and the community. We are always looking for new volunteers to add to our team. There are many programs and jobs that we need assistance with. Please look at some of the volunteer opportunities that we have available now. If you are interested in volunteering for the Bark Avenue Foundation, please email our Volunteer Coordinator, Jen Baronoff at Jen@BarkAvenueFoundation.org. Please include the volunteer positions that you are interested and the days that you're available to help out. Volunteer Positions *Adoption Events - We are always in need of dog and cat handlers at adoption events. As a handler, you will attend the adoption event and inform attendees about the rescued pets that we have available for adoption. You may be asked to walk one of the featured dogs around the area to promote the dog to potential adopters as well. *Cat Socializer - We are always in need of cat lovers to come in and pet and play with our rescued felines. Regular interactions with the rescued cats can make all the difference in helping them become socialized and transition from living on the streets to living in a forever home. *Dog Walker - We are also in need of dog lovers who enjoy taking our rescued pups out for a good walk. Giving the dogs a chance to get outside and to socialize with a volunteer is a great way to provide them with exercise and fresh air. *Events Committee - Work with BAF staff on fundraisers and awareness/education events. BAF is currently working on two benefit events for the holiday season. We will need volunteers to assist with promotion, sponsorships, obtaining auction items, etc. *Foster Program - BAF is looking for loving volunteers to offer their home to a homeless pet while they wait to be adopted. Fostering is a crucial piece of the rescue world. By fostering a pet, you are giving it attention, love, and regularly socializing him/her. These interactions are key to transitioning the animal into a forever home. As a foster parent, you would be asked to work with BAF on providing transport to/from Adoption Events where the dog/cat will be featured to potential adopters. BAF will pay for all medical, food, and supplies for the pet while they are staying at the foster home. Fostering is a huge way to make a difference in an animal's life. The love and care that a foster parent provides is priceless. *Front Desk Administrator - Answering phones, mailings, welcoming potential adopters, data entry, etc. *Kennel Assistant - Helping out by cleaning the kennels, filling food and water bowls, etc. *Laundry Assistant - Blankets and towels...oh my! We are always in need of help with our laundry! We are constantly washing our laundry in order to provide safe and clean bedding for our pets. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING TO DONATE YOUR TIME TO BARK AVENUE FOUNDATION! |
