Do you love dogs? Would you wear slobber and dog hair as a mark of a day well-spent? Yes? Perfect! You are just the person we need to help us stage our weekend dog adoption events!
Age Requirements:
Volunteers MUST be at least 14 years old. Volunteers under the age of 18 years MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
How it Works:
Every weekend, Lost Dog Rescue sends vans filled with our adoptable dogs to our adoption events across the Northern Virginia and Maryland area.
As the dogs come off the van at the beginning of the event, you will be matched with a dog for the duration of the event, and your job will be to help that dog shine. We’ll provide onsite training and experienced volunteers will be on hand to provide support.
All volunteers must be prepared to hold their dog and stay with us for the entire event.
How to Become Involved:

You can check out our adoption event schedule to find the event most convenient for you. Each week, you’ll receive our Volunteer Email Newsletter, which will include instructions to reply to the email to sign up for an event. You will receive an email confirming your attendance or a notification that the event already has enough volunteers.
