Opportunities From: Friends of Homeless Animals

Adoption Office Greeter (Ages 16+)
Shifts: Fridays and Saturdays (coming soon: Sundays)| 12:00–2:30pm / 2:30 - 5:00pm

Be the first friendly face visitors see when they walk into our Adoption Office! We’re looking for personable, reliable volunteers to help greet guests, assist with sign-ins, and support staff with simple computer tasks and light cleaning when things are quiet.

This is a great opportunity for anyone 16+ who wants to earn volunteer hours or get involved with animal rescue. While you may be around dogs as they meet potential adopters, Greeters are not involved in handling animals and should allow staff, trained volunteers, and adopters to focus on the pets during their visit

Shifts are available every Friday and Saturday (for now - Sunday shifts to open soon) in two blocks:

12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

2:30 PM – 5:00 PM

Sign up for your preferred shift here:

Volunteers must be:

Age 16 or older

Personable and welcoming

Comfortable using a computer

Willing to learn our adoption processes

After your shift, please log your volunteer hours on Galaxy, or email lauraeddy@foha.org so we can record them for you.

FOHA is seeking dependable and animal-loving volunteers to help transport our dogs and cats for a variety of important trips. If you're comfortable behind the wheel—especially in a larger vehicle like our FOHA van—we need you!

We are currently recruiting for:

Weekday Medical Transport Drivers
Transport a dog or cat to a nearby veterinary appointment. These trips are typically 1–2 animals and may be suitable for your own vehicle—or you can use the FOHA van if preferred.

Intake Drivers
Help bring new dogs and cats to FOHA from our rescue partners. Intake usually takes place in Staunton, VA on Saturdays around 12 PM, with possible Wednesday meetups. Most intakes require use of the FOHA van due to the number of animals. Meet up address: 134 Rowe Rd Staunton Va 24401

Event Drivers
We’re expanding our off-site event efforts and would love to use our FOHA van to bring adoptable dogs to the community! You’ll meet handlers at the event—your role is to be their ride to a brighter future.

Comfortable driving the FOHA van is strongly preferred.

Valid driver’s license and completion of Yellow-Level Volunteer Training (not required for cat transport).

Responsible, reliable, and ready to be part of a lifesaving team!

Whether you're available weekly, monthly, or just when needed, your help makes a huge difference.

Once you sign up, we’ll send you a quick Google Form to learn more about your availability and comfort level with different types of transport.
