We need friendly, outgoing, responsible, dog-loving volunteers to help us handle dogs and assist in the introduction of our dogs/puppies to potential adopters at this adoption event. We have anywhere from 60-70 dogs in our rescue at any given time and they are all in private foster homes. We do not own or operate a shelter facility. Many fosters have more than one dog so we need people to hold a foster dog on a leash (puppies will be in puppy pens) in our group and answer basic questions about the specific dog assigned (info will be provided to volunteers before the start of the event).
We ask that all volunteers arrive 15 minutes early, at 10:45am for a brief orientation and plan on staying for the duration of the event. Otherwise we are left with more dogs than people to hold them in the second half of the event! Volunteers must be over the age of 18.
We provide a brief orientation before the event that covers how to handle the dog(s), how to keep them safe at the event and basic information about our adoption procedures. You are matched with a dog that you will have responsibility for throughout the event - you are given information about the dog (age, training, personality, etc..) from the dog's foster.
We generally can match all volunteers with a dog but occasionally have more volunteers than dogs. If you are not holding a dog, we still need help speaking with potential adopters, answering their questions, helping them fill out adoption applications, etc..
*Note: we have an event every Saturday, and could always use volunteers, so please feel free to share with family and friends!
