AREAS OF INTEREST

Please select all of your volunteer interests.

Adoptathon Staffing

Franklin County Humane Society adoptathons are held twice a month at the Wake Forest or Garner PetsMarts. Adoptathons provide those interested in adopting a dog/cat an opportunity to meet our wonderful animals. They also provide us, as volunteers, an opportunity to meet prospective FCHS adoptive owners, answer their questions, and screen prospective owners to determine if they can provide a permanent loving home for a FCHS dog/cat. Adopting a FCHS animal is a lifelong commitment and is to be taken very seriously. Therefore, we do everything possible to find the best match between a dog/cat and its adoptive owner.

Fundraising and Publicity

Plan or assist with publicity activities such as staffing fundraisers, putting up posters, placing ads, and making phone calls or other tasks that help us find homes for our dogs/cats. Willing hands required, innovative minds a plus. Be a part of our fundraising team and help plan or assist with either large or small activities. Experience is not necessary.

Foster Care

We believe that every dog/cat deserves a good home with a loving family. Until we can find each dog/cat this type of home, all dogs/cats are kept in the loving care of their foster guardian. Foster guardians open their homes and hearts to the many dogs/cats that need FCHS’s help. They handle a multitude of responsibilities including: feeding the dog/cat a healthy diet, providing a safe home, vet visit transportation, medication, and lots of love to the animals until they can be adopted into a loving, permanent home.

Dog/Cat Transportation

Provide transportation of dogs/cats to adoptathons, vet appointments or other locations.

Web Site Photographer

Photograph animals at Franklin County Animal Control and upload the pictures to the web site. Must have a digital camera.

Web Site Assistance

Assist our Webmaster with keeping pictures, articles and links up to date.

Socialization Counselors

Socialization is important in the personality development of all dogs/cats. It is necessary to help dogs/cats get along well with others; to become a well behaved member of its future adoptive family; and to be a confident and psychologically healthy pet. FCHS socialization volunteers work with animals exposing them to different people, places and things.
