Volunteer

"WE are the ones we've been waiting for."

 - Nathan Winograd

Brother Wolf loves its volunteers! If you would like to pitch in, please use the form below to contact us, or check the current listings below. Have a special talent, skill, or interest? Let us know how you want to help!

**All new volunteers must fill out a BWAR Volunteer Application and go through an orientation, held at our adoption center, before they may begin. All volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.**

If you are interested in bringing a group to help at the adoption center or at a special event, please email volunteer@bwar.org directly.

••••••• Come join our cat team in caring for our cats and kittens while they spend a week in the Adoption Center at PetSmart. Volunteers scoop litter, provide fresh food and water, clean, and spend time loving and socializing the babies. Morning and evening shifts available. Please contact Peggy at peggyhodge@charter.net with questions or to sign up.

••••••• Be a FOSTER PARENT! Everything you need to care for a puppy for kitten, cat or dog is provided, as well as all medical care; it won't cost you a thing! Be that most vital link for a pet while it goes from homeless uncertainty to a loving, forever home! Email cats@bwar.org or dogs@bwar.org to learn more.

••••••• OUTWARD HOUNDS HIKING CLUB. Help enrich the quality of lives of our adoptable dogs while exploring beautiful WNC. Every Wednesday and Sunday morning we'll meet at the Adoption Center at 10am, and Saturday morning at 9am, leash up our furry friends, make sure we have plenty of water, and head out! (Note: You must be 18 years or older if you want to walk a dog alone). Email volunteer@bwar.org for details on this week's hike! We ask that you please leave your own pets at home - sorry!

••••••• We are always looking for volunteers to come to set up, hang out, and break down at our  ADOPTION DAYS! At least 2 people to help set up and stay from 12-2, and at least 2 more people to be there from 2-4 and help breakdown. Adoption events are held throughout town at locations like PetSmart, Petco, Mast General Store, and many others. Email volunteer@bwar.org if you would like to help for any portion of the day or if you have any questions.

••••••• SECOND CHANCES THRIFT STORE now open next to our adoption center.! Thrift store volunteers are needed to greet and help customers, take in donations and help keep the store organized and running smoothly. Shifts will generally consist of a few hours in length, but you may work as many shifts or days as you would like. We need volunteers more on the weekends right now so please email Nicole (our thrift store manager) at nicole_warren1@hotmail.com to reserve your shift and sign up for brief orientation. Thank you!

••••••• As always, we encourage you to COME BY THE ADOPTION CENTER and help in keeping it a happy and healthy home for all of our animals... pick up some laundry to take home, give a puppy or two a bath, let the cats purr as you give them love, wash some dishes, play fetch in the yard, or take a lovely dog on a walk around the neighborhood. The choices are abundant, and the animals will be happy to see you!
