Why Volunteer?
- Your presence as a volunteer will help animals during their transition stay at AFA to get ready for a new, forever home.
- If you ever wanted to learn about animal behavior and training, this is your chance to develop new skills while exploring the field of animal care.
- It's a great way to meet people with similar interests and make new friends.
- You'll learn new skills and work experience for future endeavors.
- And of course walking dogs is great exercise for both you and the dog.
Volunteer... make a difference in the lives of our animal friends and you will find your own life changed in the process!
