Volunteers

C.A.R.E. is a very small, Los Angeles based organization which operates a true no-kill, cage-less sanctuary located in the high desert approximately an hour north of Los Angeles. If the prospect of such a drive is not daunting, and you are 18 or older, we would love to have you come up to help out!

If you're under 18, we're very sorry but volunteering at the sanctuary would not be possible because of liability issues. However, don't despair! You can help in other ways - please read on

Sanctuary

Visit our fur-folk and give them some special lovin', groomin' and treats
If you have a good sized truck, we could really use help to pick up periodic donations from the San Gabriel Valley area and deliver to a board member's house in the San Fernando Valley or up to the Sanctuary
Help with sanctuary repairs
Pick up/return sanctuary pets for visit to our Los Angeles veterinarian
Create new video/DVD walk thru for our sanctuary if you have some skillz in that area

Fund Raising

Collect food, blankets, toys

If you're under 18 (or not), you can make C.A.R.E. a special project at school or a group - have a drive to collect food, toys, blankets; have a yard sale to benefit C.A.R.E.; organize a rummage sale at your church or group and hand out fliers about C.A.R.E. We can send you a Word document suitable for printing.

Anything else you can dream up and develop the volunteer base to help with including:

Grant prospecting
Event development
Volunteer coordination
