Volunteer at the Rescue Care Center (RCC)
Operating the Rescue Care Center takes many helping hands. Support is always needed across a variety of roles.
Volunteer In-Person at the RCC
Our Rescue Care Center is the hub of our mission — safe housing and daily care for homeless dogs and cats while they wait for adoption.
Age requirements
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to volunteer at the Rescue Care Center. Minors are not permitted in the kennel area.
How to get involved: the first step is a general information session at the RCC, where you’ll learn about our organization, the roles available and the onboarding process.
Volunteer Roles at the RCC
Cat Room
Out-of-cage playtime, socialization, cage cleaning, and fresh food and water keep our cats healthy and ready to meet new families.
Photography
High-quality photos for pet bios and social media help animals get noticed faster — and move from homeless to adopted sooner.
Transportation
Van drivers get dogs to weekend adoption events and pets to veterinary partners. Drivers must be 21+ with a clean driving record.
Greeters
Greeters answer questions from visitors and volunteers, receive donations, and keep a safe flow of traffic through our door.
Closers & Kennel Help
Evening closers (5–7 p.m.) finish kennel chores before lights out; morning kennel helpers assist with cleaning and essential tasks.
