Special Volunteer Opportunities 

EMAIL Lilly at wendy@ebhs.org FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES:

Foster Care - Volunteer as a Foster Parent for dogs or cats in your home! Foster animals may be too young for adoption, may be recovering from an illness or minor injury, or may need behavioral training.   If you would like to foster a dog or cat, please email Lilly at wendy@ebhs.org for a foster care application.

Well Bred Bargains - Volunteers needed for our resale boutique in Elm Grove. Must love people!

PetSmart – Brookfield and Greenfield locations!  - Petsmart is our  feline adoption partner! Volunteers are needed to help clean the cat area in exchange for the space. Volunteers are needed for mornings (7-9ish) and evenings (between 6-9pm). This will ensure that the space our cats use is kept clean in exchange for this wonderful opportunity. It will probably only take about 15-30 minutes per visit. JUST ONE DAY A WEEK (with coverage if you are away or on vacation) will help our adoption program!

Special Event Committees - Join our special event/fundraising committees.  These committees help organize events like our annual Wag Walk (held in September), Yappy Hours and fun and exciting events.  They also staff booths and participate in events.   Opportunities are flexible but experience in event planning and comfortable with working with the public are critieria for these fun events.   Our special events committee meets  one Monday per month.   Please email Lilly at wendy@ebhs.org for more information.
