Upon becoming approved to volunteer with RCAPS you become a representative of RCAPS and its members. When acting as an RCAPS representative it is excpected that you will act in a mature and responisible way. As an RCAPS volunteer you will refrain from public criticism of participants or other volunteers. RCAPS representatives will refrain from the use of profane, insulting, harassing or otherwise offensive language while volunteering. RCAPS believes that all animals deserve to live and be given the chance to live. RCAPS believes that no healthy animal under any circumstances should be put down / killed. RCAPS believes that no animal should EVER be surrendered to a kill shelter. RCAPS believes that there are no reasons to breed cats/dogs and people should adopt not shop. RCAPS does not do adoptions (unless under extentuating circumstances) and is not a rescue group. RCAPS does its best to find rescue groups that can help the animals at our local Vance County Shelter. We offer free transport to approved rescue groups (have filled out our rescue application and have been approved) from NC-NJ. RCAPS is not completley a volunteer orginization but depends very much on volunteers to operate. RCAPS is 501c3 approved which means all donations are tax deductible.
