Philippine Dog Finder

I have been receiving a lot of queries on how to become a PAWS Volunteer. You can check some queries on my chatbox from Stephanie and Winnie and a lot of emails from my contact form. Luckily I have read on mefindhome newsletter that they will be having a PAWS Volunteer Orientation on January 10, 2009, 10 AM. So I hope that by posting their invites here on my blog can help you find your ways on becoming a volunteer. PAWS needs a lot of volunteers so I hope you can all come and participate.

Dear friends,

Orientation for PAWS volunteer applicants will be on Saturday, January 10, 10 am at the PAWS Shelter in Aurora Boulevard, Katipunan Valley, Loyola Heights, QC (see map at http://parc. mefindhome. org)

Applicants for volunteers must be willing to share at least 8 hours per month of their time doing work for the animals ( i.e. shelter work, manning PAWS booths, dog training/socializat ion, visiting schools or hospitals; or work from home creating PAWS flyers, posters, adoption write-ups, writing campaign letters or doing clerical work for the PAWS office, etc)

Members of PAWS e-group or PAWS Multiply group are not considered PAWS volunteers unless they:
1. have signed and submitted the volunteer application form (including agreement to abide by PAWS policies and sign a waiver freeing PAWS from liabilities for any injury or illness sustained during the course of doing volunteer work)
2. have attended a Volunteer Orientation session
3. render a minimum of 8 hours a month doing volunteer work

Verification of names of people who claim to be “members of PAWS” can be done through email. Please email us at philpaws@yahoo. com or write to
