We need people you can search for grants we could be eligible form, and help us complete these applications. This is a time-consuming task, and we don't get a chance to do it as often as we should. We're a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so there is plenty of funding opportunities out there that we could take advantage of. This is something you could do from the comfort of your own home!

... assisting at adoption/information events
We also sometimes do adoption/information events to raise awareness of Austin Guinea Pig Rescue, and to educate the public about responsible small animal care. These events are usually on the weekend and last about four hours, although you could do shorter shifts if needed.
