Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. ~Elizabeth Andrew

Our organization relies on all of the wonderful people that have open up their hearts and homes to dogs in need; without our dedicated foster parents we would not have been able to achieve our success. Fostering is one of the hardest and at the same time one of the most rewarding of our volunteer activities.

We value everyone who helps us to fulfill our mission, this includes the dedicated volunteers who raise funds at the Red Deer Farmer's Market and other Trade Shows throughout the year. These efforts have not only raised much needed funds but also have raised awareness about our organization.

Then there are the marvelous people who take it upon themselves to recruit helpers and gather donations of all kinds from their friends and family! The dogs and cats in our care have all benefited from the many toys, treats, pet beds, blankets, towels, shampoos, and grooming tools, raised from such volunteers!

If you would like to be apart of our Paws and Claws Family, please fill out the volunteer application form and we will contact you as soon as we can!

Thank you for considering Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation!
