Volunteers

West Coast Dog and Cat Rescue is always looking for people who love animals to help out. Some of the options are fostering, socializing, cleaning kennels, giving medications, transporting, paperwork, taking photos, doing laundry -- whatever your skills and interest, we can use them. Below are some of the areas in which we can use assistance:

Adoption Counselor - Help prospective adopters find the animal that is the best fit for their home. There's no better feeling than knowing that you helped to complete a family!

Cat Caretaker - Help keep the cat's homes looking their best. Get down and dirty cleaning up after our resident kitties. It's not glamorous, but the cats sure appreciate you for it. It's volunteering, but you get paid well in purrs and affection.

Fostering - Temporarily keep in your home animals that are too young, who need medical care before they can be placed in their forever homes, or just need a place to shack up for short time while their forever home is found.

Fundraising - WCDC often gets invited to community events to share information about our organization and responsible pet care. Help spread the word by helping staff a booth at a local event or adopt-a-thon.

These are just some examples of how you can help out and are certainly not limited to those listed above.
