Volunteer Information
Foster Homes - The more foster homes we have, the more animals we can save. Fostering an animal is extremely rewarding. You provide shelter, food, and lots of love; SARG provides the rest.
Dog Washes - During the summer (May through October), our dog washes are a major fund-raiser for us. We need volunteers to help wash, dry, and walk the dogs, mix shampoo, and load, unload, and transport equipment. This event is held at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter once per month from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
"Meet and greet" for the animals - at Belk's in Oak Ridge on Senior Days, usually the 1st Tuesday of each month, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.; and at PetSmart at Turkey Creek every 2nd Friday evening of the month. Volunteers help with loading, unloading, transporting, setting up, and taking down equipment; transporting and tending to the dogs and cats; and answering questions about the animals.
Crafts - If you are crafty and have a talent at making anything, SARG can use your support. The Pilot Club show is held at the Oak Ridge Community Center in the fall, and we can sell only handmade items. These items can be anything and do not have to be animal-related.
Mailings - SARG can always use help with mailing newsletters, announcements, thank-you cards, etc., as well as donations of stamps and blank thank-you cards.
Yard Sales - In the fall, SARG has a huge yard sale to raise money for the animals. Item donations for the sale are appreciated; volunteers are much needed to pick up and sort items and to help during the sale; and customers are essential.
All of our volunteers work hard, but the wagging tails and purrs make our efforts worthwhile. If you think you can assist with any of these activities, please call Shirley at (865)483-8146. Come and join the fun -- free doggie kisses and happy purrs given to each attendee!)
