I have a small a 501c3 non-profit cat only rescue here in Sioux Falls,South Dakota and really need foster homes desperately. Plus, I always need help with volunteers to help at the Petsmart adoption events because I work most Saturdays. Anybody out there have any input or know what I can do? Thanks so much!
Aloha:
Are you listed here in this forum as the other shelter rescues?
Did you join Network Charities if you are elligible?
At your Petsmart adoptions have a Volunteer sign up sheet and also a sign asking for volunteers.
See if Petsmart will allow you to post a small sign on bulletin board with your volunteer needs?
Perhaps asking on Craigslist, although be cautious.
Are you on any other social networking sites you might have a cal for volunteers on?
Is there something you might be able to assist another shelter with and in turn they can share some of their volunteers?
Also ask each of the other shelters in this forum page how they go about obtaining worthy volunteers.
What about seniors?
Is there a Military base nearby or perhaps a college, or other type of education facility?
Will your DVM allow you to post your needs in the office?
Mainly just do not stop looking for volunteers as you will find them eventually.
It is all a matter or networking and communication.
Take care and good luck.
