We are always looking for a loving pair of hands to help us continue to rescue homeless animals. The following are ways in which you can help:
Foster a Dog or Cat
We are in great need of foster homes for our rescues. Our first choice is to place these new rescues in foster homes rather than to board them. Not only does it save the expense of boarding but we get to know the dog or cat and can then match them with the perfect home. If you are interested in helping one of our rescues transition into his new life, please see our Foster section in You Can Help.
Adoption Fair Workers
Your time on weekends helping us with our pet adoption days will enable us to show more dogs and cats, increasing their chances of being adopted. Volunteers between the ages of 14 -16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Grooming
We always want our dogs to look their best for our adoption fairs and some of our rescues are in great need of a makeover. Do you have a free afternoon to stop by our Ranch in Sumerduck and make a dog more beautiful?
Pet Taxi
If you would like to help transport dogs or cats from our ranch, our fosters, or owners, please let us know.
Fundraising
We are always in need of help in the fundraising department. If you have experience as a fundraiser for nonprofit organizations, we can use your help. If you would like to organize a fundraising event, we would love your help. Any and all ideas are welcome. We also need help with flyer circulation announcing special events -- posting them and keeping them current. Additionally, we like to put up flyers at veterinary clinics and pet stores featuring current adoptable dogs and cats.
Professionals
We need help with printing, publications, and editing. We are also in need, occasionally, of expert advice in legal matters and contracts.
Grant Writing
We are looking for someone experienced in the grant writing area of fundraising. Currently, most of our funds come from private donations from caring individuals and our adoption fee donations.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out our on line Volunteer Questionnaire or contact us at volunteer@lostdogrescue.org and one of our volunteers will contact you as soon as possible.
