Volunteer At Texas Pawprints

Volunteers are always welcome and boy do we need them. Currently, we need volunteers in several aspects of our organization. If you would like to volunteer, please email us at volunteer@texaspawprints.org or visit Petsmart (see address above) to sign-up.

• Shelter - Our shelter needs volunteers to help with general maintenance and care of the facility and cats.

  
  

• Adoption Events - Help out at weekend adopt-a-pet events at Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus and other venues in East Dallas.

  
  

• Pet Transportation - Transportation is all that is required. All expenses (excluding gas) are paid by Texas Pawprints. We need drivers to transport animals to and from the vet when needed, pick-up cats that are abandoned by owner at Petsmart, and pick-up cats whose owners are incapable of delivering them. We would also appreciate volunteers who can pickup our supplies (litter, food, etc) and drop them off at the shelter.

  
  

• Phone Support - Once a pet has been adopted, we need volunteers to make follow-up calls to new adoptors.

  
  

• Fostering - Of course, what these cats need more than anything is a foster parent to bring them into their home until they have a permanant home. Though we have people at the shelter 10+ hours a day, it's not the same as being in a foster home and getting all the individual attention a foster can provide. Older cats, moms and kittens and stressed cats especially do better in foster homes.
