Special Event! Dog Adoption hang out & volunteer

Santa Monica CA

Description

QUICK OVERVIEW It's Ace of Hearts' first Dog Adoption Event partnership of this year and we are partnering with Gelson's Market in Pacific Palisades, as many other dogs rescue all over Southern California are this weekend, to present our beautiful dogs to the public and hopefully get them into a 'Furever' home! MISSION We are a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs, the day they are to be euthanized, from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. We do NOT take dogs in... we rescue them only from shelters. The Ace of Hearts Foundation is in memory of "Ace", a wonderful American Bulldog who was rescued from death and touched the lives of many (especially our founder Kari Whitman!) We rescue all breeds...and don't discriminate against any! VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES Helping with setup and/or teardown Transporting dogs from their foster homes to the event, or back home afterward Refilling water bowls, making sure dogs have treats and are comfortable Walking dogs Hanging out with dogs (this is 70% of the job) Cleanup Fundraising for pups' vet bills ADDITIONAL ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES 2 volunteers to bring 1 case of bottled water each. 2 volunteers to bring 1 bag of ice each. 1 volunteer to pick up the soiled linens at our office in the Pacific Palisades and bring them to the event beforehand (You won't need to stay for the event if you can't, it would just be a huge help!)

A huge number of volunteers to help with setup, raising donations, and caring for and walking the pups - this is going to be a big one!
