| Rescue organizations, such as PBGV Lifeline, run solely on the spare time and efforts of our dedicated volunteers, without whose help we would not be able to assist PBGVs in need. A well-run rescue organization is not really very different from a business, so you can imagine all the tasks to be performed and the facets that need representation. As a Lifeline Volunteer, you will be helping to fill a very special need in our organization. We count on you to do the many things that need to be done to make sure that all displaced PBGVs have the best opportunity possible to be restored to a loving, happy home. There are many jobs to be done that foster homes and adoption facilitators don't always have the time to do, so there is always an opportunity to help and a need to be filled beyond providing foster care. |
