Ahimsa House is Georgia's only organization focusing on the links between animal abuse and domestic violence. We help people and their pets across Georgia escape domestic violence through providing temporary emergency shelter and veterinary care for pets while their owners stay at domestic violence shelters, where pets are usually not allowed. Because we serve the whole state of Georgia, outreach is a very important component of our work--so that we make sure everyone who may need our help knows about our organization. We are looking for dynamic, outgoing volunteers to help us staff our information booth at community festivals and pet festivals around the state. You can volunteer as frequently or infrequently as you wish. We need the most help during the spring and fall when festival season is in full swing.

Immediate Help Wanted: Foster Care Providers for Pets In Need Ahimsa House needs your help more than ever to continue meeting the current demand for our services. Take in the pets of domestic violence survivors until they get "back on their feet" in a safe, non-abusive environment. There are no out-of-pocket costs to providing foster care. We provide food, transportation, and veterinary care. We need foster homes for dogs, cats, and lots of other species! ANY amount of time you can contribute makes a huge difference. Temporary fosters also allow us to get pets out of expensive boarding facilities as quickly as possible until a more cost-effective option can be secured. Want to foster, but think you spend too much time away each day? Let’s talk! We are happy to explore covering the cost of daycare or a dogwalker for your foster pet, as these services are less expensive than paying for full-time boarding. You may be asked to give a few days or weeks of your time ... to the pet who benefits, it means a lifetime. To learn more about this opportunity or to fill out an application, please visit: https://ahimsahouse.org/foster.

Thank you for your interest in helping to transport animals for Ahimsa House! Our network of animal transporters helps us get pets to safety, drive them from the vet to their foster homes, and reunite them with their families once it's safe to do so. There is nothing better than seeing the joy on the faces of both a family and their pet when you reunite them at the end of the pet's stay with us! Being a transport volunteer requires some patience and tolerance for the unexpected. It is also important to understand that the animals that come into our care may be fearful or aggressive due to abuse. You do not need to be an expert about animals, but for everyone's safety, we require that all animals be contained during transport (leash and/or crate for dogs; carriers/cages for cats and other small animals), and we strongly recommend that all dogs be crated in the vehicle. Ahimsa House can provide these supplies if needed. Thank you again for considering joining our transport team! Please contact us if you have any questions, or to get started on the application, visit: https://ahimsahouse.org/animaltransporter
