Here’s how it works:
Pet owners call us for help, and leave their message in the appropriate mailbox. Working from home, a volunteer retrieves it, calls them back, and determines how to best help them and their pet. As a hotline volunteer, you would be aware of any special programs and pricing for spay/neuter services throughout the county. You would offer low cost vet referrals, information about vouchers or other specials, and financial aid from Pet Assistance when truly needed. You would keep simple records, such as log sheets of calls.
Pet Assistance Foundation has served the people and pets of Southern California since 1955. We were pioneers in the war against pet overpopulation, educating the public about spay and neuter, persuading veterinarians to offer low cost surgeries, and helping families in need obtain them. Our Spay/Neuter Hotline is the mainstay of our approach. Currently, we need one or two more volunteers for San Diego County.What we provide:
- Training
- Supplies
- Phone line
- Fax machine
- Support
What we need from you:
- An hour or two a week, after training
This position offers autonomy and the chance to make a definite difference for people and animals. Pet overpopulation is the root cause of so much suffering, and our hotline directly targets its cause. Phone volunteers tend to stay with us for a long time, enjoying the opportunity to be a humane presence in their communities. If you care about animals, possess good judgment and communication skills, and can spare a couple hours a week, we’d love to hear from you.
Please email us with San Diego Hotline Volunteer in subject line at PetAssistanceFoundation@gmail.com, or call 310-732-1230 to find out more.

Mission Statement
Pet Assistance Foundation was founded in 1955 with the sole purpose of helping stop pet overpopulation and abuse through spay and neuter. We refer pet owners to quality low cost s/n vets through our thirteen branches throughout So. California. We also assist low income pet owners by providing a donation towards the cost of the surgery. We also do adoption/rescue with weekend adoption events in PETCO stores in Rolling Hills, Lakewood, and Downey.
Description
We have an immediate need for cat caretakers! This volunteer activity will involve feeding, cleaning cages and socializing with the cats during playtime. Cat care taking requires about an hour and a half to two hours at one of the above locations.
This is our 64TH year of humane work in Southern California. Come join a group of dedicated, caring people who know that every moment they volunteer results in a positive outcome for an unwanted pet. We take in owner relinquished, homeless and unwanted given up pets-get them any and all medical care they need, get them healthy, happy and friendly. Then, there is the huge moment when we find them a pet parent who will care for them for their lifetime. That's huge! In just a few hours a week, that is what you will be part of. Please reply to petassistancefoundation@gmail.com, or you can call our office at 310-732-1230. Please answer - the volunteers and especially the pets, NEED YOU!
