Pet Adoption Counselor (Lakewood or Downey)

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Pet Assistance Foundation

Pet Assistance Foundation is all about stopping the horrors of pet overpopulation and the abuse and misery it leads to. We do this through our program of spay and neuter referral and support, along with rescue and adoption efforts. We are now preparing as best we can for kitten season, when people will be dumping mom cats and their infant progeny in parks, yards, business parks, on the streets, and even in dumpsters. We need volunteers desperately to help us be able to not turn any cat or kitten away.

Currently we need an Adoption Counselor for a 4 hour shift, once or twice a month on Saturday or Sunday. We need a truly sincere, mature and reliable person who can commit to at least 4 months. Duties for this responsible position will include interacting with the public about animals for adoption, handing out animal welfare literature, including spay/neuter resources, setting up adoption cages, playing with cats. We prefer that you have some animal welfare experience, or a deep commitment to helping animals. We will train. Hours are 1-5 on Saturday or Sunday, starting immediately, in either our Lakewood or Downey adoption site.

Thank you for caring enough to read this ad. If you are looking for an opportunity to really make a difference in the lives of animals in need, you have found one.

About Pet Assistance Foundation

Location:

555-B Artesia Blvd., LONG BEACH, CA 90805, US

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!
