VOLUNTEERS ARE THE HEART (AND HANDS) OF OUR ORGANIZATION


 

VOLUNTEER APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT

 

Thank you for considering volunteering with PAWS of SWVA. We are a non-profit 501 (c)3 rescue that has been in operation since 2002 and are based in Wise Co., Virginia. We work with local kill shelters and other rescue groups to help reduce the number of abused, neglected, or unwanted animals in our area. We have several different things we do to help the unwanted pets in our area. We work with the low-cost Margaret B. Mitchell Clinic to reduce the pet population, place pets in foster homes until adopted, host pet adoption events, and also do transports. Volunteers with a variety of skills are needed to ensure the success of these programs. Please take the time to fill out this application and read and sign the agreement. This information will help us find the volunteer work that you would enjoy most and to keep you posted on new projects and events.
