There
are many different Volunteer activities that are vital to the success
of United Animal Friends:
ANIMAL-RELATED
ACTIVITIES
Foster
Animals
Every
animal who is fostered is a life saved. Foster dogs or cats
live with you just like one of your own, until their forever home is
found. UAF pays for all veterinary expenses, and can provide
transport and food. All Fosters have trouble letting go when
the right home is found, but knowing how many more homeless animals
need your help makes it possible. It's so rewarding to see
the happy pictures as the years go by.
Transport
Animals
UAF animals in Foster sometimes need to go to the
vet or an Adoption Event. When the Foster requests transport,
the Transporter helps out. There is also a need for transport
of donated items. UAF will pay for gas.
Adoption
Events
Dogs and cats at Adoption Events need Animal
Handlers to care for them, keep them calm, and visit with potential
Adopters. Everyone has fun at Adoption Events.
Feral
Cat
Program
UAF's Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) Program needs
volunteers to trap feral cats, and transport them to and from the
vet. Helping a cat colony to stop growing is vitally
important, and save so much suffering!!
Walk
Dogs
Dogs at Prescott Animal Control (PAC) really appreciate getting a out of their
cages for a walk. Pick one day a week and join the
fun. The dogs will give you a smooch to thank you!
FUND
RAISING ACTIVITIES
Fund
Raiser
Events
UAF does a large fund raiser each quarter, and
smaller ones all the time. You could bake for a holiday bake
sale, talk to potential corporate sponsors, sell tickets, post items to
the on-line auction. There are so many things to do that
there's something for everyone!
Friend
Finder Tabling
A Friend
Finder is also needed at each Adoption Event to visit with people who
might like to become volunteers and/or to receive the UAF Newsletter.
If you enjoy talking to people, this vital job is for you!
Grants
Grant writing is an important source of
funds. Join the team at UAF and get a thrill when the grant
you write pays off!
Recycling
Program
UAF recycles cell phones, ink cartridges, video
games and digital cameras. Empty a box from a location near
you or help find businesses that will let you place a box with
them. Everyone feels good about recycling, especially when
the profits go to help the animals.
OFFICE-RELATED
ACTIVITIES
Telephone
Work
UAF
gets lots of calls. They go to a message phone.
Volunteers
pick one or two days a week when they will clear the messages, call the
people back, or forward the message to the proper person.
