Volunteer at Rescue Gang!

While fostering is our largest need for volunteers we have several other volunteer opportunities at our rescue. These range from walking, bathing, grooming, veterinary technician, lab work, cleaning, laundry, paperwork and more. If you are able to drive with us across the country to rescue dogs from shelters we are looking for volunteers to assist with transports as well!  

 

Why Volunteer with us?

  • Make a Difference: Whether you’re a seasoned dog whisperer or just a pup enthusiast, your time and passion can change lives. Every walk, every cuddle, every wag—you’re part of something bigger.

  • Foster Home: Our foster program is the heartbeat of our rescue, and we save hundreds of dogs annually. Open your home to a furry friend in need and we will provide all the supplies & support needed to ensure you are successful.

  • Kennel Duty Volunteer: Roll up your sleeves and dive into kennel duty! Visit the rescue dogs at the shelter and care for their daily needs in the morning or evening.

  • Transport: Transport dogs as close to local appointments or from Texas.

  • Intake Superstars: From the moment a dog arrives, you’re there. Bathing, walking, preparing them for their foster home, and making them feel loved.

  • Vet Tech Extraordinaires: If you’re a vet tech or aspiring to be one, we need you! Assist our vet tech team, administer meds, and help our pups feel their best.

  • Community Event Volunteer: Volunteer at any of our exciting community events with foster dogs, mobile food pantry, lead the event/swag tables, & participate in other fun activities for family & friends!
