Rural Dog Rescue is in need of an Event Coordinator to help run our special events! We have roughly 8-10 special events through the year, ranging from the annual Fall Festival to Howl-o-Ween to our Spring Dog Wash.
This would entail pre-event logistical planning, day-of support, and follow-up. This is an ongoing role that would require roughly 3-4 hours of your time once a month for planning and preparation around each event, as well as your presence at each event.
Volunteer must be based in the DMV area, as we are hoping you can assist us with staffing events in person. Some event planning experience is preferred, but not required.
By sharing your time and skills with us, you will help raise funds for the medical, transportation and ongoing care expenses for homeless dogs while promoting awareness of rescue dogs and animal welfare.
Rural Dog Rescue rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and finds them homes in the DMV area. We focus our efforts on shelters that euthanize over 70% of dogs or euthanize within 72 hours, with a special commitment to saving the "underdogs," animals that are often overlooked because of sickness, seniority, injury or their perceived breed. We are 100% volunteer-based and have placed upwards of 1,000 dogs in forever homes!More opportunities with Rural Dog Rescue

About Rural Dog Rescue

Mission Statement
Forever true to "the Underdog," Rural Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of high risk dogs in economically challenged, high-kill shelters in rural areas -- dogs that are often overlooked for adoption or rescue.
Description
Rural Dog Rescue was founded in 2011. We are based in Washington, D.C., and serve communities in D.C., Maryland, and northern Virginia.
We work with several high-kill shelters (who either euthanize dogs in 72 hours or whose kill rate is 70% or higher) in rural areas of North Carolina.
We focus on efforts on shelters that euthanize over 70% of dogs or euthanize in 72 hours, and we rescue a range of breeds and sizes. Our commitment is to rescuing the "underdogs" - dogs that are often overlooked in shelters because they are dark-colored, hounds, sick, injured, or senior.
To date, RDR has placed more than 2,000 dogs in forever homes.
