Volunteer Information for Alamo Area Partners for Animal Welfare (AAPAW)

Volunteers play a very important part in supporting AAPAW's mission. Without their help, it will be difficult for our community to reach the goal of becoming a no-kill city by 2012.

We urge you to consider becoming a part of the no-kill movement in San Antonio by becoming a volunteer with AAPAW. We offer special events and other opportunities to get involved. If you are ready to become a volunteer with AAPAW, please use the Volunteer Signup Form to submit your information.

After you fill in and submit your information on the Volunteer Signup Form, please also join our AAPAWvolunteer discussion list at Yahoo. This is the primary means of communicating with our volunteers.
