Animal Advocates of the United States (AAOFUS)

Get to know them.

Animal Advocates of the United States is a volunteer-run rescue working with homeless dogs and cats in underserved communities. Its San Diego adoption events create a local connection to that work, bringing rescued animals together with people who may be able to give them a home.

Event volunteering is a concrete way to help without fostering. The team describes setting up pens and signs, keeping water bowls filled and spaces clean, answering adopter questions and spending time with the animals. It supplies the event equipment and an FAQ for volunteers. Apply first and confirm the next event details with the team before making plans.
