Pets for Life (PFL) is driven by social justice and guided by the philosophy that a deep connection with pets transcends socio-economic, racial and geographic boundaries, and no one should be denied the opportunity to experience the benefits, joy and comfort that come from the human-animal bond.
Are you detail-oriented and computer proficient? We're looking for volunteers to support PFL administratively from home. Duties include data entry, comparing data for accuracy, and communicating with staff.
Benefits of volunteering
Volunteers will develop data entry skills and better understand the role Pets for Life plays in addressing the critical lack of accessible, affordable pet care in under-served communities and to keep pets happy and healthy in their homes.
