Volunteer
Volunteers are integral to the success of our mission - Making Dogs Family.
Can't take in a dog, but still want to help? We need you!
Volunteers do the bulk of the work for our organization. Here are some ways to help:
Dog-Related Volunteer Activities:
-
Walk the dogs at the shelter so they have some time outside their kennels. This is typically done on Monday & Thursday mornings.
-
Take a boarding dog for a doggy day out or a sleepover! Boarding dogs do not get as much individual attention as our foster dogs, and they need love too.
-
Transport dogs to rescues or to their vet checkups.
-
Transport supplies and medication to and from our fosters.
Administrative Volunteer Activities:
-
Assist with keeping online adoption profiles up-to-date and refreshed.
-
Coordinate with our adoption team on what they need help with: reviewing applications, calling references, organizing documents, etc.
-
Fundraising help including grant-writing, community outreach, communicating with local governments and citizens, etc.
-
Help transport items for events.
