AAF Canine Adoption Readiness & Enrichment (CARE) Program

As you may know AAF is in the process of revamping its educational programs for volunteers. To this end, NEW volunteers will progress through a series of Levels (currently 3 Levels for dogs & 2 for cats) as their time and interest allows. Existing volunteers (i.e., volunteers who have been involved prior to 6/15/10), may choose not to do the new Levels but are MOST welcome and encouraged to participate. In any event, the first Level 2 program will be offered at the dates and times below.

Level 1 - Care program:  If you would like to contribute your time by volunteering, please come to one of our volunteer orientations which we hold each and every Saturday at 11:30 AM until 1PM .

Level 2 - CARE program: This program is for AAF volunteers who, at a minimum, have completed Level 1 (Orientation). This 2-hour program covers: canine body language, clicker training exercises that can be done indoors, cleaning protocols to maximize canine wellness, Kong preparation (find out the secret recipe), etc. Because we will be working in AAF's kennel areas, participants must be 15 years of age or older. Free and no need to pre-register.
