Why: Want to help cats & dogs in need in Durham/Orange County? This is your chance to learn how YOU can get involved in Independent Animal Rescue's many volunteer programs - fostering, fundraising, fence-building, feral cat trapping, case management and many others! This event is broken into two parts: a general information session about Independent Animal Rescue (IAR), followed by a detailed foster training session. IAR is an all-volunteer, all-donation funded non-profit organization. In 2007, we were able to help over 1000 animals in the Triangle, and with your help we hope to increase that number this year!

Where: SEEDS in Durham

Why:

SEEDS' youth program, DIG (Durham Inner-city Gardeners), is a youth-driven market garden in which teenagers raise fruits, vegetables, and flowers right here in downtown Durham and sell them at the Durham Farmer’s Market. Volunteers who work with DIG on Saturday mornings work alongside the youth to assist them in their activities of planting, harvesting, weeding, and tending a diverse array of produce. Other activities may include preparing beds, turning compost and a variety of special projects.
On your volunteer day, come prepared to work hard, get dirty, and have fun with the DIG crew, staff, and other volunteers. Wear closed-toed shoes and be aware that work continues rain or shine, so be prepared for either (bring a rain coat or sunscreen and hat). Please also bring a water bottle. We have bug spray and work gloves, but if you have your own, you're welcome to bring them along. Bees are active in our garden, so if you are allergic, please come prepared.

Sponsor: Coalition to Unchain Dogs
Where: We're at a different dog's yard each Sunday. Contact Meredith (mlb38@duke.edu) for exact addresses.
Why: The Coalition to Unchain Dogs is a non-profit, all volunteer effort dedicated to improving the welfare of dogs living outdoors on chains in and around Durham. Especially now that the weather is colder and drearier, we need lots of volunteers to help build fences and doghouses for chained dogs every Sunday. No experience is needed, just a heart for happier and safer dogs! Our previous fence (11/11) was for a dog, Spot, that had lost an eye after being viciously fought by previous owners. Come out and show your love and support for sweet dogs like Spot by getting him off his chain and in a backyard!
