As a private, nonprofit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers to keep our rescue efforts going. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome adoptable and treatable dogs from high kill shelters. We are located in Minnesota, but we transport from any state. We do not have a shelter or facility at this time – all of our rescue dogs are in private homes. Despite not having a facility, there are many ways in which you can help. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete a Volunteer Application. If you have experience volunteering for another dog rescue organization or would like to take on a volunteer leadership position, we have these volunteer positions available.
Work from home to screen dog adoption applications, coordinate and conduct play dates with potential adopters, coordinate and conduct home checks with potential adopters, return phone calls and e-mails from the public about animals that The Rescued Dog has available for adoption. This position requires excellent time management, communication, and response time.
