Dear
Adults and School Age Children;
Thank your
for your interest in our community service mutual benefit
program with
Community Animal Network. Community Animal Network was
founded by DiAnna Pfaff-Martin in 1996 as a vet medical rescue
for abandoned and local shelter animals needing to find new
homes. She began negotiating with veterinarians to perform
life-saving surgeries for the shelter animals of Newport Beach
for a reduced fee and then promoted them for adoption by
standing in public places with photos of the animals on poster
boards and giving out the Community Animal Report which she
wrote and published with the help of Office Depot and Staples.
DiAnna now
publishes the "Animal Report" an e-publication focusing on "pets
needing new homes" and "animals in crisis" needing help. She
continues promoting animals from the web site
www.animalnetwork.org,
www.petfinder.com,
www.1-800-save-a-pet.com and her "pets-in-public" showings
where rescue animals and private parties both show their dogs
and cats that need new homes.

HELP
NEEDED! -
IN-HOME CARE
FOR RESCUE CATS AND KITTENS!
Food and
medical provided!
We have a
tremendous need for families to welcome rescue animals into
their home. The most frequent reasons why people give up there
pets are death, divorce, the loss of the family home and moving
to no-pet housing. There are not enough homes and the public
favors to adopt the little ones causing the municipal shelters
to have to euthanize 50% of all dogs and 75% of cats that enter
the shelter system. Giving your time and sharing your home can
save lives. Fostering animals in-home can satisfy “community
service hours” by months served, not hours, as it
becomes a family experience.

RUSSO’S PET EXPERIENCE
The
volunteer hours are 12:00 – 4:30 pm. Volunteers help with
closing chores from 4:00- 4:30.
Volunteers schedule by Wednesday for weekend
volunteering shifts. We encourage volunteers to schedule
multiple weekends for the month in advance. A donation to
“Community Animal Network” of $15.00 for a tee-shirt or $20.00
for a sweatshirt will be accepted. We also “loan” tee-shirts for
the duration of the volunteer term with a check security
deposit. Volunteers are to be prepared to answer questions made
available in the study guide. Therefore, reading and role-play
with friends or a family member is required. Knowing the safety
rules provides a safe environment for all and studying the dogs
and cats names on the web site along with knowing the rescue
stories encourages animals being adopted. Volunteer staff needs
to be seen as professional and interface politely with the
public.
The
volunteers are responsible to stand by cat cages as well as help
the adoption manager with tasks. Dogs are handled at the
adoption event by their pet-parent or caregiver, or are shown by
appointment after being seen on the web site. People interested
in dogs and special colors of cats should register with our
pet-match service for a $25.00 service fee to get the animal
that they really want. Small dogs are adopted so very quickly
that this service needs to be recommended.
Our public
pet-promotions are in “front” of Russo’s Pet Experience and on
the pet patio. There is a map of the shopping center on our web
site
www.animalnetwork.org.
