What made you decide to volunteer with FTTF?
Respect for the organization, its mission, and positive reputation within the rescue community. It was recommended by other long-time rescuers.

I’m primarily foster & chief greeter at adoptions 🙂 My favorite is “raffle ticket rep” at Bingo: I make sure everyone KNOWS it’s in them to WIN!

What do you enjoy about volunteering with FTTF?
Surrounded by a team that is just as passionate about advocacy & pitbull rescue as I am. It’s a family.

Your time, money, sweat equity will pay dividends in every part of your life!

Visually seeing & feeling the community support of our mission at Candlelight Vigil is a visceral reminder you are part of something bigger, and that it makes a difference.

How has being an FTTF volunteer made an impact on your life?
My husband & I share in this experience…our friends, family, coworkers all know and support our involvement. Your involvement isn’t just you, it’s your entire tribe…that impact grows with every new volunteer.

A common misconception is that Friends to the Forlorn receives government funding or has a bunch of wealthy donors. In reality, though we do run on donations, the vast majority of our supporters are normal, every day people like you who give what they can, when they can. We are able to do what we do because our extended Forlorn Family, which reaches into the 3000+ people, have donated even just a few dollars to our efforts. Below are just a few ways you can help us by donating a small amount or through activities or purchases you are making anyways.

1
