volunteer to make a difference

Rescue dogs often come from challenging backgrounds, and even small acts of kindness can have significant impacts on their well-being. Here are some meaningful ways you can make a difference:

Regular Walks

Taking a rescue dog for a walk once or twice a week helps them get the exercise they need while also providing them with the opportunity to explore the world around them. This simple act can greatly reduce their stress and improve their mental health.

Car Rides

Many dogs enjoy car rides, which can be a delightful adventure for a rescue dog. It gives them a change of scenery and a chance to experience new smells and sounds, or even a pup cup for the really lucky ones, making their day more exciting.

Quality Time

Spending time with a rescue dog in their kennel, whether it's brushing their fur or simply petting them, can create a deep bond. This interaction not only provides comfort but also helps them become more social and trusting.

Other Ways to Help

Training Sessions

Do you know how to teach a dog to sit? Teaching a dog basic commands or fun tricks can improve their confidence and make them more adoptable.

Playtime

Playing with toys or engaging in fun activities can provide much-needed stimulation and enjoyment for a rescue dog. It can also be a great way to build a bond and watch their unique personality shine. Some of our more experienced volunteers even take their favorite pooch home for a fun day away from the rescue!
