Interested In Helping Animals? 

I am DiAnna Pfaff-Martin

and I know.....

"It only takes one person to make a difference in an animals life!"

ABOUT THE FOUNDER: 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 an e-publication called the "Animal Report" focusing on "pets needing new homes" and "animals in crisis". She is often asked to speak with local service groups and has spoken with girl scout troops and the Newport Center Library lecture series. DiAnna conducts a "feline pet-parenting class" at Fashion Island for new pet parents on a regular basis.

Animals are promoted from her web site www.animalnetwork.org and 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.

WEEKEND ADOPTION MANAGERS H

 JOB SUMMARY

The position consists of a lot of talking, information giving and decision making. The manager oversees minor and adult volunteers and the public to ensure that the common sense safely rules are followed. The day begins getting ready for the arriving animals and planning the cage placement for each animal based on its personality and color. The largest part of the day is spent interviewing prospective pet parents and guiding them to make the correct match for their family and lifestyle, as well as confirming our pet adoption rules and policies. The public tends to choose the tiny ones and this is NOT saving lives! Thus we need to manage kitten adoptions and “sell” the great qualities of adult cats and older kittens. A 30 minute feline pet-parenting class is given by the adoption manager to all pet parents at the time of adoption.

 Opening: Set up adoption station with info materials. Position the adoption podium and sun umbrellas. Review the cage crews set up and change if necessary considering safety. Plan the reserved cage space for arriving cats and the dog handler’s area. Greet the arriving feline caregivers and show their animals to their cages. Photograph new volunteers with the Polaroid and collect donations for the Tee shirts. Finalize adoptions by completing individual contracts and going over the animals individual health record and after give a pet parenting class to "all" adopting pet parents. Closing: Guide the minor child volunteers to help with closing work. Put adoption supplies away. Keep things organized and in their place. Cover our outdoor door cages with the tarp.

Public Greeters

ADOPTION GREETERS - We take getting homes for the animals very seriously and we need people on the weekends that are personable and have the ability to talk about the great qualities of the adult animals in order to “sell” the concept of getting an older pet rather than a kitten. Kitten's bring the crowds and they all get adopted. Saving lives is about promoting the fine qualities of adult animals that need new homes.

Prepare our adoption event for the arrival of animals at 12 noon for adoption. Greet the caregivers, confirm cage reservations and assign cages. Guide caregivers as to the protocol and safety for the adoption events. Mingle with the public to support the adoption team during our crowded and active adoption events. Guide would be-adopters to the management team to complete the paperwork necessary to take their cat home that day. Weekends 11am - 5:00pm.
