HELP NEEDED!
VOLUNTEER MEETING
Please keep an eye out for an invite to our upcoming Volunteer Meeting in March!  As soon as we set the date, we'll let you know!
 
CAN YOU SEW?
We would love for someone to design vests for the collies that say "Looking for a Home" or something along that line...   Our foster families can put them on while they are walking through the neighborhood and we can use them at events.  if you can help, please let us know!
 
POSTING COLLIES ON LINE!
We need to get the word out about our available collies by posting them on sites like Craig's List and other community websites.  If you're famililar with these types of sites and can spare about an hour a month, boy do we have a job for you!
 

If you think you'd like to help, please call Linda at  (703) 963-7329 or send an email to lindaz@savecollies.org
