Forte Animal Rescue Volunteer Orientation

Forte Animal Rescue Volunteer Orientation

Sat, Aug 8, 7:00 PM
From Forte Animal Rescue Social Club: Wags, Wine and Walks
5.0

Attention all dog lovers! If you’re interested in volunteering with an animal rescue organization, please consider Forte Animal Rescue, a 100% volunteer group. We need volunteers to help with our weekly adoption event, dog walking and dog transportation. We also need fosters for our dogs, so they don’t have to stay in a kennel until they’re adopted. We’re also looking for an experienced Grant Writer and a Videographer who can video and post our dogs on social media. And, of course, we're always looking for fresh fundraising ideas, too. Our volunteers are asked to attend an orientation on the west side of LA before they can volunteer with us. Orientations are held the second Saturday of each month from 12 to 4pm. If you think you’d be interested in helping us, please send an email to volunteer@FARescue.org for the application form and more details. You will also need a photocopy of your driver's license or other government issued identification. http://farescue.org
