We need volunteers for our "Pet Lover's Party in
the Park." There are many opportunities, from
collecting raffle prizes before the event, to running a game booth during the
event. Please contact us for more info. Some of the jobs require
some lifting, but there is enough to do that this is not a requirement since
there are so many opportunities to volunteer available.
And there are other events throughout the year, so please call!

Off-site adoption events: Save the Pets holds weekly adoption events and are always looking for reliable people to help staff them. No technical training is needed and no set amount of hours of volunteering is required, however a volunteer application would need to be filled out prior to volunteering. Contact: Lori Smith, Save the Pets, President at savethepetseugene@gmail.com.
Foster program: The current foster program ORFAN, a division of Save the Pets, is always looking for new foster homes for cats and dogs. We could use volunteers to perform home-checks and maintain contact with the foster families and any needs or concerns they might have. Fosters are generally brought to Save the Pets off-site adoption days and in some cases we need volunteers to help with the transporting of the animals as well. Contact: Bev Jorgensen, ORFAN, President at bev@orfancats.org or Lori Smith, Save the Pets, President at savethepetseugene@gmail.com.
Fundraising and special events: Save the Pets plans to initiate a capital campaign to open an animal adoption center. We are looking for motivated people to solicit for donations, seek out potential sponsors for events and to creatively come up with new innovative ideas for fundraising events. Please contact: Cherie Cahill, ORFAN, Vice President at cherie@orfancats.org or Lori Smith, Save the Pets, President at savethepetseugene@gmail.com.
Other volunteer opportunities include Public Relations and helping the community with unwanted animals. Save the Pets gets several calls daily asking for help with either re-homing their animals or help in keeping them. We would like to offer more services to the community, therefore need additional help in keeping up on calls and emails in this area.
