Volunteer for your
Sacramento Cat Rescue Agency
NEW PROJECT - HELP NEEDED!
We are looking for new volunteers to help with our Sacramento County rescue list.
Would you like to volunteer and help animals at the Sacramento County Animal Shelter in the comfort of your own home? We are looking for volunteers to help forward the rescue list animals from the Sacramento county shelter to rescue groups.
The Shelter director emails a nightly list at about 5pm. Typically, the shelter director puts anywhere from 1-6 animals on the list on a Sunday or Monday night with a picture, shelter notes and a date they need rescue by. Sometimes he may add 1 or 2 animals on the list midweek. Generally there are no animals added on the list on Fridays or Saturdays as those are the director's days off.
What do the volunteers do with this list?
- Volunteers cut and past some standard verbage from the list and then we forward to the shelter's pre-established list of rescue groups.
- Then we email specific breed rescue groups and some all breed rescues. We have a list of groups already compiled. But sometimes we get a breed that we don't have email addresses listed for. Then we google that breed in the computer and email those breed specific rescues that we find.
- We also have a volunteer that goes and takes pics and videos of the rescue list dogs and sends them to us. We then cut and past those pics and videos to the rescue list and then resend the list as needed.
- Throughout the week we update the lists and resend them out.
