Home checks – Visiting and assessing homes that have applied to adopt a rescue dog or to become a foster home (We will train you!)
Dog evaluations – Visiting dogs at shelters and doing temperament testing
Training – Helping rescue dogs with behavior modification through positive reinforcement training.
Booth support – Greeting guests, providing education materials, setting up and tearing down.
Fundraising – Applying for grants and organizing fundraising
Transportation – Helping transport a dog to and from shelters, foster homes, and adopters.
Photography – Taking photos of rescue dogs for the website.
Become a Board Member – Elections are held in April. Check out the different positions here.
