VOLUNTEER PROCESS

Here's what you need to do...

• Ask for an application by clicking on your state on our volunteer page

• Fill out the application and email it back to the contact person

• We check your personal and vet references

We verify personal and vet references that are given on your application.

• A home visit is scheduled for your family

A home visit is mandatory for all volunteers.  This will involve a rescue volunteer coming to your home and visiting with you.  All family members and pets must be present at the time of the visit.  If you refuse a home visit, your application will be declined.

• Your information is submitted to the coordinator and Board of Directors for a decision

Once we have the home visit report, the coordinator for your area and Board of Directors will discuss your application and home visit report.  The Board of Directors will either approve or decline your application for volunteering.  We reserve the right to refuse any applicant for volunteering activities.  

• We will notify you of your status

We will require you to sign our Code Of Ethics prior to becoming an official volunteer.
