” Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”
– Elizabeth Andrew
Here is one of our volunteers, Joshua Leggett, pictured with Aston.
Volunteers are the backbone of Fayette Friends of Animals.
As a small non-profit organization, we depend significantly on volunteers to keep the shelter running and the animals living in a humane, loving environment. No experience is necessary to be a volunteer, all you need is a warm heart for a cold nose! We are so happy that you found us and we really appreciate you wanting to volunteer with us here at FFOA. The animals depend on us to help them find their “fur”ever homes!
