Making a difference...

Friends of Pets depends on volunteer effort and community support.
Volunteers are needed in areas ranging from pet care to administrative tasks
to cookie sales! (We're sure to have a job that suits your interest.)
Donors in the Friends of Pets Family make a financial commitment
to support our advocacy efforts for unwanted and abandoned animals
in our community. Join us!

Our television PSA "Commitment" is a lighthearted look at the true meaning of love that lasts a lifetime. You might recognize yourself and your furry "life partner" here! Thanks to our friends at SprocketHeads for another great production! See the QuickTime video (playlength 30 sec)	commitment counts!

heroes on 4 paws	FOP's award-winning "Hero" PSA was our gift to the community after the 9/11 tragedy, saluting animals who served us at Ground Zero and at home as we cope with a changed world. It was produced for us by SprocketHeads, with footage also provided by CNN and FEMA. See the QuickTime video (playlength 60 sec)

	Information Center Phone Volunteers Here's a great job you can do from home. Our volunteers relay messages and help callers with info and assistance. We train you and provide the tools you need to be part of our lifeline to the community.
	Adoption Application Taker Return calls to prospective adopters and help them complete adoption applications over the phone. This can be done from home, but a fax machine or email address is necessary.
	Event Captain Event Captains are responsible for setting up and breaking down the FOP booth at various events. Meet your fellow volunteers and the public! Requires reliable transportation and the ability to lift boxes up to 40 lbs.
	Education Volunteer Visit schools and other sites to speak to young people about responsible pet ownership. Great opportunity for those with teaching experience or who enjoy working with kids.
	Foster Home Loving homes are urgently needed to temporarily care for dogs and cats awaiting adoption. The decision on whether or not we can rescue an animal often depends on whether there is a foster to receive it.
	Dog Walker Shake a leg! Our dogs in boarding care need walks and playtime and hugs. (They give as good as they get!) You'll both get a breath of fresh air.
