Outreach Events

Do you love dogs/cats and want to share that love with the public? Outreach is a dynamic and fun way to spread our message to folks who may not necessarily know about us. No experience required, just a friendly demeanor, a passion for dogs/cats, and a desire to help grow the PA Caring Hearts community of adopters, fosters, volunteers, and dog/cat guardians. These events occur at all different times/locations and may require a little travel. We would love to have you!
