PCOTC Veterinarian Network for Dog Family Outreach

The best way we reach our community is through the many events we hold such as Meet the Breeds, Open House, and events with our local rescues. However what better way to reach the community then at the source?! That’s right! Veterinarians. Starting this year we have created the PCOTC Veterinarian Network for Dog Family Outreach. This program will be headed by Nava Ruiz. How can you help? Very easy!

At your next vet visit, ask if your veterinarian is willing to display our club postcards (most will say of course!). We will supply 25 postcards and a tabletop holder. If your vet agrees, then contact Nava with the vet’s practice name, name of the vet, address, phone number, and email. Nava will be the point of contact for postcard refills and any other questions. If your vet has never been approached before, Nava will have you pick up postcards/holder for you to perform the first delivery and subsequent deliveries when needing to restock. What do you get out of this aside of boosting PCOTC? 2 volunteer hours for initial delivery and 1 hour for subsequent deliveries! Easy! You earn those last few hours you need for the year and you help spread the word about the wonderful programs we have at PCOTC. This is a win for all!

Please contact Nava Ruiz at pcotcoutreach@gmail.com to get started or if you have any questions!

The class assistant’s role will be to help set up and take down any equipment or ring gates, help direct flow of students in between classes, relay student questions to the instructor, disinfect the training area in between classes, and other duties requested by the instructor. It is important to note that assistants should not be instructing students. The assistant receives volunteer hours and the opportunity to learn.

Class assistants may not enter the club facility prior to the instructor.
Class assistants must have taken at least 1 class at the club prior to becoming a class assistant

If you are interested in being considered for this role or have further questions, please send an email to pcotcvolunteering@gmail.com .

If you know which instructor/class you would like to volunteer for, please reach out to the instructor first. Then, contact Lucia Munoz at pcotcvolunteering@gmail.com after the instructor agrees for the next step.
