Volunteers are the backbone of K-9 Angels Rescue.
Actually, volunteers are everything! We are 100% volunteer-run... that's right, no one is compensated one bit. Volunteering at K-9 Angels is a great opportunity to give back to your community, exercise, meet new friends and, of course,
help the dogs!
You will receive an e-mail from the K-9 Angels Welcome Team within a week.
Reply to the e-mail to set up an orientation date.
Attend orientation to learn about K-9 Angels Rescue and the tasks you will perform as a volunteer. You will sign a release and you may buy a K-9 Angels t-shirt. A parent’s or guardian’s signature is required for 16-17 year old volunteers. After you attend orientation, you are welcome to signup for volunteer shifts.
Sign up for a shift!
All volunteer time must be scheduled; walk-ins cannot be accommodated. You may sign up for a shift by either
e-mailing
volunteer@k-9angelsrescue.org
or, as a Newsletter subscriber, by responding to the weekly newsletter. All volunteered time is welcomed and appreciated!
If you need to leave early or come late, it's okay - we just need to know. If you commit to a shift, we are counting on you. Please arrive on time and stay for the entire shift, unless you have notified our Volunteer Coordinator ahead (or at the last minute if something comes up).
All volunteers must wear their personalized nametags when the adoption center is open to the public...
and you will be provided with a personalized nametag at orientation. Disposable nametags are available
if you do not have a personalized nametag. If you would like one, e-mail our Volunteer Coordinator.
Wear your K-9 Angels Rescue t-shirt, appropriate clothes, and comfortable shoes. Consider long pants when bugs get pesky!

Please e-mail our Volunteer Coordinator with any questions, feedback, or suggestions.
We need YOUR help to cram all the puppy love and fun possible into the days we open our doors to the public for adoptions. In other words, you will walk dogs, greet the public, and help people find their perfect match by creating a smooth and enjoyable adoption experience.
Volunteers must be 16 years of age.
