Volunteers Make Everything possible
With
an all-volunteer Board of Directors, CARE truly recognizes and deeply
appreciates the commitment of time and energy of our volunteers.
Volunteers help us raise funds, they enrich the lives of our animals,
and they help spread the word about the value and viability of the
sanctuary movement as a means to give a great quality of life to
orphaned animals.
While we are based in the Los Angeles area, and our sanctuary is located in northern Los Angeles county, volunteers from all over the world can help us by holding fundraisers to help our sanctuary as well as by supporting responsible sanctuaries in general. Locally, we need helping hands on a number of levels.
Please help us continue to provide a great quality of life for orphaned pets! It is the commitment and generous support of individuals like you that makes it all possible.
How You Can Volunteer
Our strictly no-kill, cage-less sanctuary is located in the high desert approximately an hour north of Los Angeles. If the prospect of such a drive is not daunting, and you are 18* or older, we would love to have you come up to help out!
*If you aren't 18, don't despair! You can help in so many other ways - please read on!
The Sanctuary
- Visit our fur-folk and give them some special lovin', groomin' and treats
- If you have a truck, we could really use help to pick up periodic donations from the South Bay area and deliver to a board member's house in the San Fernando Valley or up to the Sanctuary
- Help with sanctuary repairs. If you are a licensed contractor, oh please come get to know us. Our future has plans which may need your help!
- Pick up/return sanctuary pets for visit to our Los Angeles veterinarian
- Visit the sanctuary and sit down with individual cats and dogs. Spend some time with just a single one, get to know his or her name, get to know them a little and take plenty of pictures. Then send to us so that we can use the pics and bios for future newsletters and other internet postings.
Virtually (any age can help here!)
- Link to us using the Social Media links in the left side panel and follow and like us and share with all your friends!
- If you sell or buy on EBay, designate C.A.R.E. as your beneficiary to receive a percentage of your proceeds or a donation in addition to your purchase via Pay Pal Giving Fund fka: Mission fish . Click this link to go directly to our page there!
Fund Raising (and any age can help here, too!)
- Collect food, blankets, toys
- Tabling at local stores to develop new supporters and prospective adopters
- We need cage size cat litter pans, new heating pads, hot water bottles, Gerber's Chicken baby food
- If you're under 18 (or not), you can make C.A.R.E. a special project at school or a group - have a drive to collect food, toys, blankets; have a yard sale to benefit C.A.R.E.; organize a rummage sale at your church or group and hand out fliers about C.A.R.E. We can send you a Word document suitable for printing.
- Have a food drive at your school, church, social group, whatever - canned dog and cat food is what we are desperately in need of!
Anything else you can dream up and develop the volunteer base to help with including:
- Grant prospecting
- Event development
- Volunteer coordination
