Helping Hands Pet Rescue holds adoption events at PetSmart on Archer Road in Butler Plaza in Gainesville almost every weekend and we need your help!
We are looking for Pre-VetMed students or experienced adoption counselors to help us from 11-2 or 2-5 on Saturdays at our adoption events!
Previous experience with animal adoptions is a plus but not required for Pre-VetMed students. This is great as a resume builder and grad school applications/interviews!
For those looking to become a counselor and not a student, come volunteer with us through one of our other opportunities and we can train you after volunteering with us for a bit!
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.

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.
