Pet Rescue

I have been volunteering, fostering, and fundraising for High Country Friends for Life for several years and take pictures of their cats for Petfinder. They take animals out of Animal Control and try to find them homes or at least foster homes until they can be adopted. If you want to help out, please feel free to ask me about it and I can get you in touch with the right people!

Ways you can help:

  • Foster or adopt a cat or dog
  • Volunteer to help at the pet fairs (Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Boone Mall)
  • Volunteer at the shelter to walk the dogs or spend some time in the cat room
  • Help spread the word to those looking for a new pet
  • Donate to help cover vet costs, food, litter, toys etc.
  • Help organize fundraising events
  • Use your artistic skills to design signs and flyers
  • Think of more ways to help - there are many!

Students: You can get involved and get credit for it through programs at the ACT Community Outreach Center.
