Let’s save lives together
Our organization is 100% volunteer-based with no paid staff.
Join our amazing team of dog-lovers to start making a difference.
FOSTERING
The most popular way to help out is by fostering a dog. Fostering is so rewarding and fulfilling because you are making a huge difference in a dog’s life.
Some dogs are emotionally shut down, others have medical needs and others are simply unwanted. Foster families help these dogs by giving them a loving home until they find their forever families. Instead of waiting alone on a concrete shelter floor, they are snuggling with you!
To become a foster, you need to be approved, which includes:
- approved application
- vet reference check
- home visit
- onboarding & foster training

Other ways to volunteer
Most of our volunteers foster dogs, but there are many other ways to get involved, including:
- evaluate applications
- schedule events & fundraisers
- answer emails
- apply for grants
- take dogs to adoption events
- support our database
- photograph/video record dogs for promotional purposes
- walk dogs
- transport dogs from shelter
- write thank you notes for donations
- pick up & deliver supplies
- find sponsorship for fundraisers
- arrange gift baskets for auctions
- & more - yes, there's more!
