Untitled Title
Being that we are a foster home based organization, out biggest need is for those that can foster. We do also need help in other areas though! When we take in large groups of dogs every few weeks, we need help walking, bathing, trimming nails, putting on collars, behavior testing, providing basic veterinary care, feeding, cleaning kennels, and helping foster parents collect supplies. We also need help at events!
Aside from one time volunteer needs, we also occasionally have long term volunteer commitments available such as adoption or volunteer coordinator! We are also open every Sunday 12-4 for donation drop offs and need help every week sorting and cleaning those donations!

All approved volunteers are added to our private Facebook group. Anytime we are in need of additional help, we will send you an email and we will post in our group and you can help with those needs as they arise.

If you have any other ideas on how you can help, we would love to hear it!
Do you have a working phone? *
Are you able to commit to AT LEAST 3 months to fostering? Our dogs are usually adopted our much quicker, but this is just in case they are not. *
Are you willing to keep your foster leashed when not indoors? *
Please describe any animals you are not able to foster, including temperament, sex, breed, or weight restrictions? *
Why would you like to volunteer for Rescue Gang? *
Please describe your experience working with animals: *
Are there currently any pets in the home? *
Are your pets current on vaccinations and on preventative? *
Please provide veterinary name and phone number. *
If you currently have pets, please call your vet clinic(s) to consent to releasing this information to Rescue Gang at your earliest convenience.

If they are not up to date, you may still submit your application, but it will not be approved until they are.
Are you willing to let us know if any medical or behavioral problems arise as soon as possible? *
Being that these animals may not have been in a home recently, are you willing to work on potty training, basic commands, and help work through behavior issues with our trainer? *
If you do not have any experience training dogs, are you willing to learn? We have a variety of resources available. *
What behavior issues are you NOT willing to work through? *
Please tell us your experience with potty training, basic obedience, and dog training in general: *
Do you acknowledge that if your foster animal needs medical attention, you will need to have approval from our board or may have to pay for the medical expenses yourself? *
If you must bring in your foster for medical attention, are you willing to only use a clinic that we approve use of? *
Is there anything else you would like us to know? *
