THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

Imagine, 300 dogs and cats adopted in 24 hours …

Imagine, different animal welfare agencies together under big tents working as one …

Imagine, the life-saving …

Imagine, the message this will send …

 
Rescue Village is determined to take part, but we can’t imagine succeeding without your help …

On Friday and Saturday, September 7-8, Rescue Village is going on the road with over 50 of our animals!  We are joining efforts with PetSmart, the Cleveland APL and many other area rescue groups for an Around-the-Clock, 24-hr. adoption event at Parma Town Mall -- the goal of the event is to get at least 300 animals adopted in 24 hours and we are up for the challenge!  So many other animals out there need our help to get them off the streets and into loving homes – so we’re hoping to make space for them by adopting many of our current residents out at this MEGA event. 

These mega adoption events are gaining in popularity by both rescue groups and the public and have proven to be very successful in meeting adoption goals and getting noticed by the public, so we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to be included.

We are looking for transporters, animal care attendants and enthusiastic friends or family to come out and help at the event.  See the attached pdf for a shift breakdown and areas we need help with.  We are looking for approximately 10 people per shift.  Animal care attendants will show and care for the animals and the floater/escort will help to ensure the adoption paperwork gets properly filed with PetSmart, that the patrons are well taken care of during their visit to our booth, and that volunteers get breaks when needed.

Volunteers for this event will need to be flexible with us as we work out the schedule and details for this major event.  We are truly excited to be a part of this and you will start seeing the press for it soon! 

Don’t wait ~ let me know how you can help and sign up today!!
