Helping them to "Find Their Way Home"
The key to finding great pets is to finding great people who work with them. They can be found among the volunteers of Main Line Animal Rescue. The dogs and cats who come to us have been abandoned for numerous reasons but for many it is the simple reason that nobody has taken the time to teach them how they are expected to behave and given them the opportunity to prove themselves. We count on our volunteers to help teach them, in a loving, positive way how to become wonderful pets that a family would be pleased to give a second chance. It is the volunteers who make the difference in their lives.
There are many ways to volunteer and every volunteer's job is equally important to the cats and dogs as well as to Main Line Animal Rescue.
