2023 Open Arms Challenge

After providing Free spay/neuter a to 13 people in February, I was considering sending out an email to those folks mentioning that we would love any of them to consider volunteering for our rescue.  Definitely said this is not required or expected but offered them an opportunity to give back.   It turned out more people were interested than we thought.  Just an idea for others looking for ways to get volunteers.   If anyone has other creative ideas, I am all ears.

I LOVE this idea, Laura!

Do you mind sharing the language so we can see how you offered this?

We have. The response was not encouraging. Once the crisis was over we never see them again until they need something

Well we will try.  Not hoping for alot but maybe a few!   Two out of 10 responded so that doesn't give me lots of hope.  But worth a try

I think it's definitely worth trying! The more community members who help, the better.  Maybe the rest will respond later, maybe the two who did respond know others who want to help. Maybe they can't help today or even later this year, but being a presence in your community and both offering and receiving help is a great first step.  I would celebrate those two out of ten!!!
