Our staff is made up of volunteers.  Without them we would not be able to function, and animals would not be helped.  There are many different volunteer opportunities, both short- and long-term, with different degrees of involvement.

Some roles are specific, such as:

• Helping with an event, either a regular or special event.
• Transporting animals to the vet or sterilization clinics in David.
• Transporting animals to adoption events at Novey in David.
• Visiting foster homes and supplying food, support, and advice.
• Being part of a rescue team when SALDEA recovers an animal on an emergency basis.
• Collecting donated food and cash from designated drop off locations.
• Visiting local schools to talk about animal care.

Some roles are long-term, such as:

• Being part of the fundraising committee, and helping to put on fundraising events.
• Fostering dogs and cats (our GREATEST need).
• Volunteering with the Feral Cat Program.
• Grant writing, marketing, and public relations.
• Finance, compliance, and legal support
• Strategic planning
