Volunteer

Be Part of Something Good!

If you like animals and want to help them find great homes, volunteering for PACA may be for you. We always need volunteers who are willing to donate a few hours of their time to help.  We have a variety of areas we need help with.

Dog Volunteer Opportunities:

Foster a Dog:  Give a dog in need a place to crash for a while.  Fostering saves lives and gives a dog a great chance to get a good home. For more info about fostering please see our Foster with PACA page.

Adoption event help:  We can always use help at adoption events setting up and breaking down the location, answering questions, or just hanging out with some dogs.

Dog Transport to Vet or Adoption Event: Sometimes our foster dogs need a ride to the vet or adoption event.

Maya is getting a ride to adoption event.

Dog Walkers: If we have dogs in boarding, they appreciate dog walkers to take them for a field trip.

Social Media and Marketing Help: We need help with posting and promoting our fantastic adoptable dogs on social media and other platforms.

Please fill out a the Volunteer Application  below, or download a Volunteer Application and follow the directions on the form. Please email pacadogs@aol.com with any questions.

Cat Volunteer Opportunities

Cat Fostering: Give some kittens or a cat some time to live life as a pet while they are awaiting their adoptive homes.  See more about fostering at our Foster with PACA page.

Cat care and socialization: We have cats at the PetSmart store at Academy/Wyoming that need to be cared for daily. There are two volunteer shifts a day during the week (one morning and one evening) and there are volunteers at Petsmart all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Volunteer shifts are typically a couple of hours once a week.  If you are interested in volunteering at PetSmart, drop by the store and if a volunteer is present, they can answer your questions and help you fill out a volunteer application. Or, you can email us at pacacats@aol.com  Thank you so much!

Volunteers must be over 18.

    Volunteer Experience & Interests

    I, presiding at address listed on step 1, am requesting to be a volunteer performing certain services for People’s Anti-Cruelty Association/Albuquerque Animal Rescue, hereinafter called “PACA.” I understand and agree these services are charitable in nature and entirely voluntary and that I will receive no compensation of any kind.

    I understand that PACA volunteers are covered as additional insureds on PACA’s Commercial General Liability Insurance and that this insurance will only protect me for claims made against me for injuries or property damage I cause that arise out of duties performed within the scope of my volunteer work with PACA. This is liability insurance and does NOT cover injuries to myself.

    Additionally, I may be personally liable to injured parties if injuries result from my negligence. I understand PACA does NOT maintain automobile insurance for volunteers. I must maintain and provide proof to PACA of my own automobile liability insurance. PACA’s insurance does NOT pay for any damage done to volunteer vehicles while being driven on PACA business. I will indemnify, hold harmless, release and defend PACA, PetSmart, Clark’s Pet Emporium, SunFlower Market, and applicable third parties from and against any and all action, claims, damages, disabilities, or expenses that may be asserted by any person or entity arising out of or in connection with my participation as a volunteer for PACA. (Example: Injury from any animal bite, or injury resulting from equipment hauling.)

    This statement is executed freely and voluntarily, with full understanding and knowledge by the undersigned. Note, if applicant is under 18, parent or guardian must call to confirm signature.

    Signature:

    We appreciate your interest in working with us.

    It is the policy of PACA/AAR to provide opportunities for volunteer service to all qualified persons regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, citizenship, marital status, or any other characteristics protected by law. Accuracy and completeness of both sides of this form are important factors in determining acceptability for a volunteer position with PACA/AAR. Please be aware we can decline to accept any volunteer help we can also ask you to leave at any time without prior notice.
