DESCRIPTION
Do you love the cats and kittens you see when shopping at Rockridge Center's Pet Food Express? Volunteer with Hopalong and take care of the kittens! As a volunteer you'll get a chance to learn what animal rescue is all about. In addition to socializing the kittens and cats you'll provide clean up, food care, and other basic needs. You'll also have the opportunity to answer questions from the public and help our kittens meet their forever families.
The first step to working with our cats and kittens at the Pet Food Express Rockridge adoption center is to sign up for an orientation. This orientation takes place in the adoption center at the Rockridge Center Pet Food Express, and will be hosted by Hopalong Animal Rescue's Volunteer Manager, or an Adoption Center Associate. You can sign up to attend one of these orientations by following this link and choosing a date from the drop down menu: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hopalong-cat-care-orientation-at-pet-food-express-rockridge-tickets-28263261175.
Remember:
- To volunteer you must be 18 years old.
- This orientation is to determine if we are the best fit for your volunteering needs and you're a good fit for Hopalong's needs. Attending the volunteer orientation does not guarantee a volunteer position.
- There will be a short survey to fill out at the end of the orientation that will help Hopalong match potential volunteers with the tasks best suited to their interests. It is possible, though unlikely, that we won't have a job for you. If this is the case, we will help you find an organization better suited for your interests.
Feel free to contact Volunteer Manager Dani with any questions: dani@hopalong.org or 510.267.1915 x103.

Mission Statement
Hopalong Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate the euthanasia of cats and dogs through rescue, spay/neuter and education programs. Hopalong could not reach our goal of rescuing 1000 animals a year without our amazing volunteers. We currently have more than 475 volunteers making sure that our furry companions reach their forever homes.
Description
The animals taken into Hopalong's program are fostered in a home environment, spayed or neutered and vaccinated. The animals are evaluated for temperament and many receive basic training in order to make them better life partners for the people that will ultimately take them home.
Hopalong applies a multifaceted approach to finding permanent, stable and loving homes for animals. Dogs and cats are featured on Hopalong's website, accompanied by information on the size, temperament and needs of each pet. People seeking a companion animal may also find a pet through Hopalong's' In-store Cat Adoption program and their community-based Mobile Adoptions held each weekend. Hopalong prides itself in being accessible and responsive to the community. As part of this, we have staff and volunteers available to assist new pet owners with behavioral advice and post adoption support.
We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities including fostering cats, dogs, kittens and puppies, on-site animal care and facilities support, administrative/office support, pet transporting, and adoption/weekend event volunteers. See our website at www.hopalong.org for more information.
