Volunteer Needs

• We Need Foster Homes.  Can you help us - even for a weekend or a week?   Do you know of a neighbor, friend or family member that might be interested?   Fall has arrived and many people go on holiday vacations (including our regular foster families), so the need for foster families is greater than ever!   This also seems to be the time of year that goldens appear in multiples at area shelters and we can only rescue those that we have space for.
  
  
• Van drivers.  Rescue needs van drivers to transport dogs between North Dallas and our vet southeast of town.   The transport team coordinates who will be driving the transport van based on individual availability. Typically, the transport occurs Saturday morning and Wednesday evening, but there are occasions when we need someone on other days.   If you have a few hours that you could volunteer to help out the team, it would be much appreciated.   Rescue provides the van, crates, and gas. You provide the time.
  
  
• Fundraiser Coordinator  We are looking for two or three people to work on fundraiser ideas and implementing those ideas once they are approved by the Board.
  
  
• Sporting Chance Golf Tournament Volunteer   Official planning will begin again in March for our 15th annual golf tournament.   If you would like to help out with the behind the scenes work to coordinate this event, please send us an email with the subject "Golf Tournament". It's never to early to start acquiring those silent auction items or to find a "Title Sponsor". See www.golf4rescue.org.
  
  
• Santa Photo Volunteers   PetSmart graciously offers us a fundraising opportunity. They supply the advertising, cameras, printers, film, location, Santa Suit, and backdrop. We need 4 people per day we signup for. Get your friends and spend a day at your nearby PetSmart - we need one Santa, one photographer, one to print and one to line up the next family and get the dog's attention. It's a lot of fun. Let us know if you can do this, which PetSmart you'd like to go to and what weekend days in December you'd like to work so we can sign up for that location.
  
  
• Newsletter article contributors  Do you have an idea for an article to include in the quarterly newsletter?  If so, please send your idea to the Rescue mailbox.   You may be asked to write the article as well!
  
  
• New Volunteer coordinator   We need someone to meet about once a month at adoptions with anyone interested in volunteering to help us out. You would introduce them to others, tell them a little about us and find out what they'd like to do.
  
  
• Committee Members  Become actively involved with the committee of your choice: Intake, Adoption, Follow-up, Newsletter, Website, etc. There’s something to interest everyone!

On the Weekends

• Help out at the kennels by bathing, grooming, walking or obedience training a Golden.
• Work with potential adopters and assist in the adoption paperwork.

Our primary meeting point is a Kennel Located in Far North Carrollton. Try volunteering once a month. You'll get hooked.
