The success, even the simple functioning as an organization, of Bobbi and the Strays would not be possible without the dedication, time, strength, and support of our volunteers. Volunteers are our core – those that directly help us to help them. “Them” being the thousands of dogs and cats that have come into our care and who have been placed in loving homes because of it.
Volunteers at an Adoption Event
AND we are always looking for a few good men and women to help us with our cause. If you have some spare time or some spare skills – or even some spare space – there are so many ways that you can volunteer.

We have multiple locations. Two Adoption Centers – one in Glendale, Queens – the other in Freeport, Long Island. We also have two locations that shelter our animals but are closed to the public – one near JFK airport and the other in Long Island City, Queens.
Hiking with the Hounds in Alley Pond Park
You can even volunteer at off-site locations mostly in Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, and Manhattan – for our Adoption or Fundraising Events, or even things like our Humane Education program or “Hiking with the Hounds”.

Like being behind the scenes? How about helping us transport dogs, cats, food, and other supplies? Maybe you can help with general administration duties, computer work, or mass mailings.
Helping at the Adoption Van
Work in a Professional trade (plumber, artist, electrician, painter, lawyer, etc.) – donate your professional services. Manage a bar or restaurant – how about helping us with a fundraiser? Own or run a business that has a parking lot – allow us to hold an adoption event!
Kristie and Genna on 1240 WGBB
We have many opportunities for volunteers – throughout many parts of New York City and Long Island. From fostering a homeless dog or cat in your own home, or helping at adoption and fundraising events, to walking dogs and socializing cats. You can even help us as a photographer – or write for our newsletters or blog! There are so many ways that you can get involved and help make a difference.
Walking the Dogs!
Please refer to our Volunteering page on our website – http://bobbiandthestrays.org/Volunteering.aspx. It lists the most common ways that you can help us. If you want to help – or have other ideas on how you can help us help them – please do not hesitate to contact us. You can email volunteer@bobbicares.org or call us at (718) 326-6070 or (516) 378-4340.

In the meantime, we encourage you to stop by our new shelter in Freeport or our adoption center in Glendale and visit with our furry friends and help spread the word to help them find wonderful forever homes.
