Are you interested in volunteering for CARA? Or do you think that volunteering only means fostering or working with the animals? There are many ways that you can volunteer. We need people to do everything from as simple as writing a thank you note, to as complex as planning a fundraising event.

Whatever your schedule allows, we have something you can help with. And no matter how small you think your contribution is, it is HUGE to us! Don't have time to volunteer, but still want to help out? You Can!!

• Help us get the word out by telling everyone you know about CARA.
• Place our promotional materials in your place of business.
• Be the proud sponsor of a CARA Donation Box.
• Offer your business as a CARA drop off point for donated supplies.

Foster A CARA Pet: A foster home is a temporary home in which our pets can live like they are supposed to live – as our companions – until they are adopted.

Foster homes provide a safe and loving environment for animals in our care that are either waiting for their new families to find them or while on any additional days of medication. Need More Details? Click Here

Volunteer with CARA Community Council CARA: The CARA Community Council (CCC) was formed in an effort to gather volunteers from all over the community to support this great cause! For more information, contact Matthew Holmes Holmes.matthew.r@gmail.com

As a member of the CCC, volunteers participate in the following:

• Fundraising Events;
• Picking up items at drop off locations and taking to Shelter;
• Generating Sponsorships;
• Volunteering at the CARA shelter;
• Volunteering on Adoption weekends;
• Transporting CARA pets to and from the vets offices and events.

Volunteer at the Shelter: The Shelter always needs volunteers to bathe and groom, answer phones, socialize the animals, laundry, and assist the Staff with their everyday duties of cleaning cages and kennels. If you are under the age of 14, a parent or guardian must accompany you on your first visit to volunteer at the Shelter to complete the Consent Form. For more information, contact Sheri Rowe Sheri.rowe@atmosenergy.com

Fundraising for CARA: It takes approximately $1000 a day to operate the Shelter so we welcome ideas and volunteers for ways to raise money!! For more information, contact Denise Cantrell denise.cantrell@thinkvss.com.
