Volunteers needed at adoption center on SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY where the dogs we've rescued from euthanasia lists at city shelters, can find new forever homes. Tasks include helping to unload/reload dogs from our bus, making sure dog crates have water and are clean, walking dogs for potty breaks during the adoption hours and talking to potential adopters.
Events are held most weekends Sat and Sun at our adoption center, but can include remote events occasionally. Typical hours are 11 to 4 both days for volunteers. Adoption center hours are 11:30 to 3 for the public. Orientation is Saturday only at 10:30 AM and must be attended prior to volunteering.
Due to COVID-19 masks are required and we adhere to social distancing guidelines. Adoption days may vary due to volunteer shortage. Watch our website or FB page, or call the office at 972 287 9150 to be sure we're open.

About Oak Hill Animal Rescue, Inc.
Oak Hill Animal Rescue, Inc. (OHAR), with offices located near Dallas, Texas is a non-profit animal welfare organization started by Jim and Bettye Baker. After doing rescue on a personal level most of their lives, OHAR was established in 2006 as a non-breed specific rescue with the intent to help abandoned or injured animals. As members of the Metroplex Animal Coalition OHAR works closely with the Metroplex Animal Shelters to rescue highly adoptable dogs and cats subject to euthanasia when the shelters run out of room.
Oak Hill Animal Rescue, Inc. is a registered Petsmart Partner and offers a weekly adoption event at the Petsmart Store in Rockwall, Texas. Applicants are screened and humane education provided to new homes on pet care and the long term commitment to this new family member.
OHAR also provides dogs to the Dallas County Juvenile Authority's PREP program. Sponsored by the Youth Village Foundation, the PREP program (P.R.E.P. stands for Patience, Responsibility, Empathy and Partnership; the behaviors and skills developed through participation in this program) is for at risk young men interested in a career with animals. This training provides them a marketable skill and a competitive advantage in the job market. Visit http://www.youthvillagefoundation.org/assets/programs/prep.html for more information on this wonderful program. It changes the lives of these young men forever and makes our rescues 100% more adoptable.
Guiding Principles
We work very hard to save dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized in local city shelters. This involves a great deal of time and a significant monetary commitment. In return, we expect to place these animals in loving forever homes, where their last experience of abandonment is the city shelter.
