Behind-the-Scenes Heroes Needed

Help with filing so we stay organized for adoptions and administrative tasks.

Don't worry if you've never done some of these tasks before, anything you can do is helpful, and we'll show you the ropes! GJAS is grateful for every extra hand, and you might be surprised at what you'll be asked to try on any given day.
