Become A Volunteer

Hands, Paws & Hearts looks to the community and volunteers to help keep its door open. We are currently looking for volunteers to work the adoptions fairs as well as non-adoption projects, which can be completed from your home or at our office.

Please complete the volunteer application form and click the submit button. (Applicant must be 18 years or older.)
Have you volunteered in the past for any other rescue groups or animal control agencies?
Are your current pets spayed/neutered?
Have you ever allowed a pet to breed?
Have you ever completed a basic obedience training class with your dog or previous dogs?
HOME CHECKS - Before placing a dog in a home we need to do a home check to ensure it is a safe environment. This involves travel to the home, which can possibly incur gas costs. You must have a vehicle, be good at interacting with people and have an objective attitude
TRANSPORTING- We need help getting the dogs to and from the adoption fairs. During the week we often need help getting a dog to and from the vet. This would require you to be willing to use your own car for transporting animals.
ADMINISTRATION - We often have clerical type work that we need help with: data entry, mailings, printing, etc.

FOSTERING - Fostering is a very rewarding experience! Dogs who live in foster homes have a better chance of getting adopted quicker and adjusting to their new home better. While in foster care a dog learns the human-animal bond, understands what it is like to live in a home and be part of a family and will hopefully learn some basic obedience- all of which makes the dog more adoptable! There's nothing more valuable to a rescue organization than great foster homes

FOSTERING
EVENTS - Occasionally we need assistance with various types events. Would you like to be contacted with details and assignment options when the need arises?
