January volunteer tasks needed:


Hello Volunteers!

It's the New Year and that means office clean up day is approaching!

This clean up day will be January 30th from 12:30pm-5pm. I'm looking for 12 or so volunteers to come in that afternoon to help clean our office. Our weekly cat care and stock room volunteers do such a great job every week, but this clean up day will focus on a few of the bigger projects. If you're interested and available that day please let me know and I'll tell you more!

This week (so far):

  • Tomorrow (Wednesday) we have some kittens who need a transport up to Your Basic Bird in Berkeley. 
  • Tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm also looking for someone to bring three kittens to the Hopalong office from Aborn down in Fremont. Any takers?

Lastly, Hopalong is hiring! Please refer anyone you think may be interested in joining our animal rescue team! http://www.idealist.org/view/job/wx86WjZzD4FP/

Volunteer Needs: January 11th-15th

Hello Volunteers!

1) 2016 is off to a busy start here at the Hopalong office. Here are some transport needs for the upcoming week:


  • Loyal Pet Shop in Oakland needs a supply delivery for our cat at their site. This can be done anytime from 9am-5pm, but needs to get done on Monday. 
  • All three of our Woodlands Pet Foods & Treats locations have donations for Hopalong! We need a volunteer to head to Marin in the Hopalong van and visit all three of those locations for the pick ups. Any day of the week is fine for this task. 
  • Our friends at Hambrick Laundry have nicely offered us up to 50 pounds of free laundry service per week! We are looking for a "test driver" to take some laundry over to their location on Adeline Street next week. Either of the Hopalong vehicles can be used for this task, and the timing is flexible. Any day of the week works fine. 
2) Lastly, I'm looking for extra cat care coverage in the office on Monday, January 18th, which is MLK Jr. Day. I have one volunteer scheduled for that day so far, but would like extra help for the kitties in the afternoon. 

Please let me know if you can help out with any of these tasks! There's lots of driving needed this New Year, but each task supports our mission of preventing euthanasia among adoptable animals in Northern California, and helps our animals find their forever homes.
