Does anyone have the volunteer form for Paws!? I'm trying to be a better person in 20XX+1 and they didn't have any forms when I stopped by earlier.

Oh! I do, actually! The scanner broke down, and I promised to make them some more copies. I can get you one, if you like.

Of course! I was going to deliver these tomorrow, but I'll run one over to you right now. I'm really glad that we'll be getting another volunteer. They could really use the help.

Absolutely. And rabbits and dogs, too. There's also a small reptile section, but you don't have to help with them, if you'd rather not. They're very conscious of people's fears and dislikes. They'll definitely need people to help play with the cats and help groom them, clip their claws, and clean the litter boxes, though, so if you'd rather spend most of your time with them, that can certainly be arranged.

The dogs need walking and playing with and brushing and feeding, and there's cleaning out the runs... and the rabbits' cages need cleaning, fresh bedding laid down, that sort of thing, additional food pellets added and water added to their bottles, some need grooming but they're usually pretty clean. They do need socializing, though. You have to be careful, of course, since not all of the animals have been well-treated, but that's part of why PAWS has them - to teach them that people aren't always going to try and hurt them.
