Garland, TX 75040
Volunteers are needed for the many different opportunities: (If you have skills or passion, we can find the spot for you!) Shelter Volunteer: You can volunteer at the Rowlett, TX or Garland, TX animal shelters through our program. This includes tasks such as walking dogs, caring for cats, laundry/dishes and assisting potential adopters. Offsite Dog Adoptions: this includes anything from bathing dogs before the event, transporting them to/from the event, handling them and talking to potential adopters, or setting up the event venue. PetSmart Cat Crew: Our organization rescues cats and when ready, adopts them out through Rockwall, Tx PetSmart adoption center. Our volunteers maintain the adoption center by cleaning the cat condos, replacing liter, feeding/watering, and cleaning of the adoption area. Of course there is also cat cuddling time between cleans! Fundraisers: we have many different fundraising opportunities because we think fundraising should be FUN! We have done events such as Pooch Plunge (poochplunge.org), Bowl for a Paws, Mother's Day Photos, local merchant fundraising nights, and much more. Social Media/Online Marketing: Do you like creating pictorial posts, updating website information, sharing organizational needs through social media and marketing? Do you have the technology skills along with the passion to create eye catching posts? Are you Facebook savvy where you can cross-post to several pages/groups? This is for you! As you can see, there are many things that are involved with getting the animals adopted, so there is bound to be something that you love to do or that fits your personality! If you want to get started right away with an amazing group of people trying to make a difference you can email the Volunteer coordinator at volunteer@frastx.org or go to frastx.org/volunteer to learn more about our organization.

Rowlett or surrounding cities, TX 75088
Imagine how you feel when you are out of your element. It’s hard to show your true self. The same can be said of animals that are separated from their homes and placed in a foreign environment with a lot of commotion. These animals may never have the ability to find their forever home. This is where being a foster assists greatly in getting an animal placed. We are able to tell potential adopters about the personality of the animal, whether they get along well with other animals, children, are house-trained, etc. FRAs will provide food, medicine and vet care necessary for you to foster an animal in your home. Go to http://frastx.org/foster/ and complete the Foster Application to get started making a difference.

Description
Friends of Rescue Animals (FRAs) is a 501(c)(3) all volunteer non-profit organization. FRAs was founded in 2004 and started off with 4 volunteers that wanted to support the Rowlett Animal Shelter. Our organization has grown to include a cat rescue program and support to the Garland Animal Shelter. With over 300 volunteers, we help both the Rowlett and Garland animals shelters maintain a live release rate above 90% to be considered No Kill. With this growth now we are able to host multiple off-site adoption events , sponsor heartworm treatments for all dogs in the shelter that test positive for heartworms, and so much more! FRAs has not only grown in our volunteer size, but we have grown to meet the needs of our community.
