Pet Welfare Ambassador: Outreach, Fundraising & Community Impact

Animals (and Humans) in Disaster, Empty Bowl Pet Food Pantry; Phoenix (AZ); On-site; Full time

Job description

What We Do

Though our beloved pets, we help people in crisis! No one should have to choose between feeding their pets or feeding themselves. Empty Bowl Pet Food Pantry helps pet owners facing financial challenges keep the promise they made to their pets to love and care for them forever.

Our focus is on special needs groups and gap service areas such as the "new homeless" (lost job or home), the disabled, veterans, seniors and those using assistance/therapy animals.

We are a service provider through coalitions such as Arizona Veterans Stand Down, United Way's Project Connect, Hopefest in Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson as well as partners with numerous agencies around Arizona to give pet food/items with their services because people – especially seniors and veterans – will ask for help for their pets, but not for themselves. When we help people return to sustainability, we help the pets long term!

We also teach the next generation the right ways to care for pets and the humane treatment of animals; that it is not ok to abuse, neglect, starve, abandon or leave pets locked in a foreclosed home or without food or shelter.

We go into schools, create afterschool programs, do food drives, and get students, families and groups involved in giving back to their community.
