Get More than You Give

-- Volunteer with Animal Aid Foundation!


Volunteering your time with Animal Aid isn't just about what you give to the charity.  It's also about what you get back.

"It's an amazing feeling knowing that what I do helps to save the lives of lost, abondoned and homeless animals. You can't top that" says one of our long-term volunteers.

"I am an accountant by profession" says another volunteer "so I can bring those skills to the group.  But I'm also learning new things -- like how to motivate people".

"I started volunteering to earn my 40 hours for high school graduation.  But I keep coming back because I'm learning a lot and I feel like the work I do is making a difference" says one of our student volunteers.

Volunteering with Aimal Aid will also allow you to support a cause you believe in, meet new people and make new friends and to feel the personal satisfaction of helping the animals.

Animal Aid holds fundraising events year-round.  And we offer both short-term and long-term volunteer opportunities.

For more information please visit our Volunteer page or call 647 558-PETS (7387).

All items have a starting bid and a reserve bid. Animal Aid Foundation has the right to withhold sale of an item if the reserve bid is not met.

Payment Methods and Deadline

Payment using a credit card or transfer through PayPal may be sent to donations@animalaidfoundation.ca. Items will not be released until payment has been received.

Tax Receipts Are Available

Tax receipts will be provided should you decide to pay more for the item than the amount of your winning bid.

Example
The Retail Value of an item is $50. Your winning bid is $40, but you decide that you would like to pay full-value for the prize. Animal Aid can provide a tax receipt for $10.

Limitations

The Animal Aid Foundation Online Auction is a charity fundraiser. Prizes supplied by companies are offered in good faith. Should a company or business cease operating and leave you unable to use your gift certificates, gift cards, passes, or tickets, Animal Aid will reimburse you the full amount that you paid for the item. Animal Aid will not reimburse the actual value of the prize.

Mailing/Shipping

Items that are not picked up in person can be shipped to you. Winning bidders are responsible for mailing/shipping costs. Mailing/Shipping is FOB Animal Aid premises. Animal Aid is not responsible for an item once it has left our premises.

Shipping costs can be avoided by picking up items on one of the two Auction Pick Up days.

Proceeds

All proceeds from the on-line charity auction fund spay/neuter and veterinary medical care programs of local animal charities through Animal Aid Foundation Grants. Animal Aid Foundation is a 100% volunteer-based charity. The Foundation does not have paid staff and does not receive government funding. It relies on volunteer contributions, public donations and corporate support. Learn more about Animal Aid Foundation.
