Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
We are looking for members of the greater community to help up promote spay-neuter for fundraising outreach to local business and the community to help us continue to grow our program.
We have received several grants which we ran through the first quarter of the year and still have a lot of families waiting for their dogs to be fixed.
Many unwanted pets at the animal shelter in Valencia County. Many get transferred out of state and over 1/4-1/3 never find a home. These statistics are very high compared to most other areas/counties of the U.S., and compared to the shelters in Albuquerque & Santa Fe. Helping here, will help reduce the numbers in the Albuquerque shelters because of the close proximity and because they transfer some of these pets to their shelter.
We are trying to stop the problem at its roots.
Skills Needed:
Marketing/Communications
Technology (software, hardware, database, web)
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
The approximately 120,000 of unwanted pets in New Mexico shelters.
