The need for animal rescue — at first glance, at least — is overwhelming.

There IS good news, though, in that people like you are gathering information so that they can help address the needs of animals throughout this country and even beyond.

There’s a job for everyone and, yes, you can even volunteer your way into paid positions! You can learn as you go whether you’re a concerned teen or an elderly retiree looking for ways to contribute to the cause without emptying your bank account.

So, what’s your special power?

Do you have a ‘knack’ for working with animals? Good for you! Your services are needed whether your specialty is nursing abandoned kittens until they’re weaned and able to go to their ‘furever homes’ or you love working with dogs too terrified to be considered adoptable.

Maybe you’re in a position to ‘foster’ animals until homes can be found — or you can handle ‘baby-anythings’ simply because you love animals and they seem to know it.

Maybe your gift is sewing blankets for shelter pets in winter or flying small planes so animals can be transported from where there are high concentrations of rescue animals to areas where there more adoptive homes than there are adoptable animals. [Yes, such places do exist!]

Do you love camping and want to volunteer at rescues or sanctuaries where there are species you would enjoy.

Do you have a camper? Would you enjoy a stint working with rescue personnel to ‘learn the ropes’ of animal rescue or find a way to develop your own sanctuary? These opportunities are out there — and they just need to find you!

Maybe your special gift is making videos or organizing volunteers, answering phones or making calls on behalf of the animals — all of these are tasks our volunteers enjoy doing and the impact is immense!

Whatever your niche, however you’d like to help, there’s a special place for you.

We look forward to hearing from you!
