Current Volunteer Opportunities
-
Foster
-
Fosters are the backbone of our organization! As a foster, you provide a safe and loving home for the pup, provide care (food, exercise, basic training). You help with getting your pup to vet appointments (Cody's covers all medical care), and you help determine what your foster dog's perfect home looks like. Fosters provide us pictures and bios to help us find that home! Apply here! (link to foster application).

Temp Foster​
-
Temp fosters fill in for a foster of record for specific dates during vacations or when family obligations arise.​

Remote Foster
-
Not in a position to bring a dog into your home? As a remote foster, you can serve as the advocate for a dog in boarding! Taking the dog on outings for socialization, getting pictures and information for a bio all help prepare the pup for adoption!

Transporter

We frequently use transporters to pick dogs up from shelters and deliver them to a foster, or to help a foster with vet appointments, etc. Some transporters donate time and gas, but we're happy to reimburse for gas money, too!​
