About the Volunteer Role
We’re looking for volunteers open to fostering a dog in need from the comfort of their loving home! Does this sound like you? Our rescue covers the cost of supplies, food and medical needs while the pup is in your home. :-)
Please complete a foster application here
You can note your desired age, needs and activity level of the dog you think could be a good fit for your home. Then we'll then follow up to discuss your preferences and time constraints.
Benefits to Volunteer as a Foster:
Foster homes literally save their lives! Plus, the number of dogs we rescue depends solely on the number of people who open their homes to fostering.
Increase your knowledge of animal welfare & why dog rescue organizations exist while saving a life.
Join a network of volunteers & community leaders to help create a world without neglect, abuse and overpopulation of dogs.
Desirable qualifications:
You LOVE dogs!
You have a safe and loving home environment
You are confident in your dog handling skills and/or are open to learning skills
You like communicating, as you’ll provide updates or needs to your dedicated Foster Coordinator
