Do you love animals? Would you like to spend some time helping on a farm?
Fuzzy Faces Rescue is a 501c3 with a vision! But, we need more Fuzzy Faces to make our vision a reality. We need your help to ensure both fun and safety for visitors to the farm.
You must complete training on Saturdays between 8am and 5pm to learn how to groom and care for the horses. Other times and days will be considered if Saturday doesn't work for you.
Once you complete your training and the instructor agrees that you are trained, then you will be ready to help with pony rides and other activities at the farm or off site pony ride events.
We also offer group and workplace volunteer projects by appointment. Please let us know what your team would like to do.
Please be sure to wear boots and bring your work gloves anytime you come to the farm.
There is more than enough work to go around and a cheerful group of new friends to work with - check out our website www.fuzzyfacesrescue.org and volunteer today!

About Fuzzy Faces Refuge
Location:
600 Ryans Lane, Clayton, NC 27520, US
Mission Statement
Fuzzy Faces Refuge (FFR) is a NC 501c3 non-profit that provides a sanctuary for endangered heritage breed farm animals where people of all abilities can interact safely with animals using positive, therapeutic experiences that build confidence, enable positive progress and afford opportunities that may otherwise be unavailable.
Description
Fuzzy Faces Refuge is dedicated to protecting and promoting endangered livestock and poultry from extinction to preserve our heritage for generations to come. As part of our education and conservancy effort, we offer opportunities for therapeutic interaction and adoption of the endangered breeds that we raise.
As a PATH International Member Center, and through our program Freedom Steps, we are uniquely situated to offer Equine Assisted Animal Therapy to the surrounding community. Our programs include providing equine-assisted activities and therapeutic riding for those who live with physical, emotional or cognitive challenges, or those enduring psychological and/or physical wounds, including children, adults, veterans and first responders.
FFR has a small petting zoo that the local community, schools and therapists can visit by invitation or appointment with their families, friends, students or patients. Get to know our resident fuzzy faces and enjoy the therapeutic value found within a serene farm setting.
