HOW TO HELP

Volunteer

Thank you for considering volunteering for Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals . We value your interest and appreciate that you want to make a difference for animals in your community. By volunteering with us at the Acopio shelter you can add to the quality of animals’ lives and enhance the quality of your life too!

(If you live in Alberta or Vancouver area, please click here for information on how you can help)

There are many ways to help…

The gift of your time and friendship means so much to the animals while they wait patiently for their forever homes. We need volunteers to:

  • Walk and socialize the dogs or cuddle and play with the cats
  • Assist with adoption events by transporting animals to the venue
  • Take photographs of the shelter animals for this website. Showing an animal in her best light can make a big difference in becoming adopted.
  • Groom or bathe a pet before an adoption event

Sometimes a shelter environment is not the best place for very young or sick and injured animals. Consider helping a vulnerable or special needs pet get the special attention and care she deserves.
