Each year we man a booth at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. This is an opportunity to educate, sell merchandise, give out pet ID tags, and enjoy the Fair. An annual fundraiser, this one involves renting a local bowling alley. We fill it up with bowlers who have collected pledges for our animals. Volunteer opportunities at the Fur Bowl are similar to those at the Walkathon.
Help is needed to organize people by appointment, collect fees, and handle photos.
Other activities are occasionally included as help permits. We welcome opportunities to spread the facts of pet overpopulation and discuss the merits of responsible pet ownership. This requires special training, but can be very rewarding. Adoption counseling is the process that takes place when a person chooses an animal to adopt. Your job would be to discuss the various aspects of pet ownership with this person, ensuring they are aware of proper care.
