Have a little time to spare?

Hello readers. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and you and all your pets were on the nice list.

If you find yourself with a little free time in these cold winter months, you might consider doing some good for some homeless pets in need of a few good friends.

FORCACP (Friends of The Regional Center for Animal Control and Protection) (aka the pound) is looking for committed volunteers to help walk the dogs, socialize the cats, network with animal rescue groups among other tasks.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and should be willing to commit eight hours per month and attend a volunteer orientation meeting.

You can get more information at this link right here, by calling Ruth Pierce 339-9506 or by emailing rpierce@rvspca.org.
