Adoption Event Volunteers are critical towards finding loving homes for our rescue cats and dogs! They assist potential adopters in finding their new best friend as well as promote responsible pet care. Adoption Events are located at Petsmart, off Archer Road, from 11-5pm every Saturday. First shift is 11-2 and second shift is 2-5 - volunteers are able to sign up for either shift as long as spots remain available.
Between walking dogs, socializing cats, assiting with puppies or helping to break the event down there is always something to do! We also have a fabulous Jr Volunteer program welcoming any age (with an involved guardian present) to come volunteer with us!
Helping Hands also welcomes groups of 10-16 (max 8 per shift; must commit to filling both shifts) to help during events. It is a wonderful way to become active in the community for any organization! Please email in advance to coordinate any volunteer groups!
The experience of sending over 1,300 shelter animals to forever homes is extremely rewarding.
Please contact us if you have questions or would like more information about our rescue.
All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, have been seen by a vet, are microchipped, and are tested for heartworms or Feline Leukemia/FIV before adoption.
Please send us an email to get started as a volunteer with Helping Hands Pet Rescue at volunteers@hhrescue.org. Look forward to volunteering with you soon!

Mission Statement
Helping Hands Rescue is dedicated to saving as many companion animal lives as possible by placing homeless animals in permanent homes that are the best possible fit for the pet and the family.
Description
Helping Hands Pet Rescue is a primarily volunteer run non-profit pet rescue. Most of our animals are rescued from certain death at our local shelters. We pull animals directly from the euthanasia lists and occasionally take in animals from the public in extreme and exceptional circumstances. All of our animals are completely vetted and are spayed/neutered prior to being put-up for adoption.
We do not have an adoption facility, so we do most of our adoptions at the PetSmart off of Archer Road in Butler Plaza. At these events we need a lot of hands for things to go smoothly- everything from dog walking, socializing cats and kittens, supervising puppies and assisting with potential adoptiers. We welcome individuals looking to volunteer as well as groups- just email with group availability. We also have a great Jr Volunteer program and welcome all ages (with a parent or guardian) to experience the joy of giving back to our community through rescue.
In 2015 we placed over one thousand cats and dogs in forever homes!
We are a Maddie's Pet Rescue Foundation Partner that seeks to help our community get to no-kill by 2017 by doing our part in the mission to have NO MORE HOMELESS PETS in our community.
