Animals for Awareness

Mallory with a Seal

Mallory is one of our youngest volunteers, and she started with AFA in the Spring of 2010 after finding us on the internet. We hit gold that day! Mallory comes out faithfully every Sunday morning to help clean cages and feed/water the animals. She’s usually the first one here! But she takes her job one step further and researches the behavioral needs of the animals so that she can design enrichment programs for them!

Teri with Jasi

Like many of the volunteers here at Animals for Awareness, Teri found her way to us through the internet, and, WOW, were we lucky! Since February 2011, Teri has been slaving away on weekends doing whatever needs to be done:  cleaning, feeding, inside, outside – you name it. She even grooms the critters, and they adore her!

Paul

We were lucky when Paul fell upon our website in January 2010 at the age of 41. Paul is our muscle man who is a regular sight on Sundays. He cleans cages and feeds animals, as well as helps with educational programs. Paul will do anything you ask him to do without hesitation, which is great, because he’s probably the strongest volunteer we have!

Lauren with a Porpoise

Lauren is an awesome volunteer who’s been with us since July, 2009 after finding us on the internet. She’s our Friday volunteer, and she’s a whirlwind when it comes to feeding and cleaning the animals. But cleaning and feeding aren’t her only tasks. Lauren assists with educational programs and will hopefully be training to do them on her own someday soon.
