Volunteer Opportunities
The following is a list of volunteer needs of GSRAW.
FOSTER HOMES:
Take
a rescue dog into your home, give it love, walk it, and help it to learn leash
manners and other basic commands, housetrain if necessary, and help find a
suitable adoptive home. GSRAW pays for veterinary care.
SHELTER
DOGS:
Return calls to humane societies
to get information on a particular dog they want to send to rescue, and take
photos of shelter dogs in need for the website. For qualified volunteers who have experience in
the field, evaluating temperaments of dogs at humane societies or dogs being
surrendered.
TRANSPORTING DOGS:
Transportation from shelters to foster
homes.
ADOPTION VOLUNTEERS:
Contacting potential adopters to get a
feel for what they are looking for in a dog and talking to them about what
dog may be the best suited for their particular situation.
OTHER
VOLUNTEER EVENTS:
Staff booths at events.
Do promo work, like putting up
flyers of available dogs at various locations.
Contact local newspapers about
free ads.
Anything you have experience in that will contribute to our
effort.
There is a very interesting article on the
Dog
Owner's Guide
website about
joining
a rescue. Please
read it if you are thinking of getting into rescue!
