Advocacy: Adopt Stray Cats & Dogs

        I was reminded of the PAWS Volunteer Orientation when I used the hashtag #AdoptStrayCats a few minutes ago because I posted this photo of Barako/Mingming in my Instagram account.         I've always wanted to volunteer however, Quezon City is a bit too far for me and before, I didn't have enough time. But now, I'm decided to attend and really volunteer. I want to officially advocate the adoption of stray cats & dogs.         I'm looking for interested individuals or group of people who wants to volunteer too. If you're interested, below are the details for the volunteer orientation.

Share your talent, skill and passion for the animals. Volunteer for PAWS.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW:

REMINDERS:

Volunteers must be prepared to render at least eight (8) hours a month doing work at the shelter or outside the shelter for animal welfare to be in our active volunteer database.

Those who will not be able to render 8 hours of volunteer work a month need not apply as volunteers. They can be Supporting Members instead and click on the monthly donation button at http://www.paws.org.ph/be-a-supporting-member.html. Supporting members are also considered active volunteers and receive monthly updates from PAWS via e-mail. Please consider being a Supporting Member. Supporting members give monthly financial support to help keep the shelter running.
