For Otis Sake Rescue is seeking volunteers for the 2017 calendar year. Specific activities will be posted here as they are scheduled. Please contact us if you have interest in becoming a regular volunteer and can assist with any of the areas listed below.
1. Fostering - Open your home and provide training and care to a rescued dog until adoption occurs. For Otis Sake is a foster-only organization (we have no permanent facility) so this is a high need activity for us.
2. Home Visits - Visit potential fosters or adopters homes to ensure that animals will receive the training and care they need to flourish.
3. Transport - Transport animals to/from fosters, boarding facilities, vet appointments, events, and support transport events by walking/watering animals.
4. Adoption events - Help facilitate adoption events by handling dogs, meeting with potential adopters, answering questions about the For Otis Sake adoption process and organization.
5. Special events - Attend special events and provide assistance as needed (setting up/tearing down, selling merchandise, preparing refreshments, parking of vehicles, selling tickets, etc.). This is a high need activity for us.
6. Fundraising - Help coordinate fundraising activities, sell tickets and/or other items associated with fundraising efforts (For Otis Sake merchandise, raffle tickets, event tickets, gift cards, etc.). This is a high need activity for us.
7. Marketing/PR - Help spread the word about the For Otis Sake Rescue, activities, events, and fundraisers through various outlets (mailings, email blasts, social media outlets, posters, etc.).

Mission Statement
Rescuing, Rehabilitating and Rehoming dogs pulled from high kill shelters and animal control facilities across the U.S.
Description
For Otis Sake is a volunteer and foster organization with no paid staff or current physical location. The organization utilizes fosters as the transitional and transformational variable to prepare all rescued animals for a life of happiness in a stable home. For Otis Sake services a wide geographic area, pulling from high kill shelters in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, and Maryland. Since they have no paid staff or a facility to maintain, all donations received go directly to providing food, medical care, medication, rehabilitation, and training for all rescued animals to prepare them for their adoptive families. The organization has not shied away from tough cases and many of the animals they rescue have been severely neglected and require extensive care to return them to a happy, healthy condition. In addition to pulling from high kill shelters, For Otis Sake works closely with the local Hospice to help patients identify homes for their pets, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring that these animals will not end up in shelters.
More information about the organization is available on the For Otis Sake website and Facebook page.
