There are many ways to help Found through our unique Volunteer Programs that help rehabilitate animals in need. In order to become a Dog Volunteer or Fundraising/Administrative Volunteer please carefully read the responsibilities, qualifications and prerequisites.

Notice: If you've already been a volunteer for Found, you have to re-apply to the program(s) of your choice.

Dog Volunteers must go through a very selective application, interview and training process in order to work with our dogs. This is due to maintaining the safety, health and well-being of the animals in our care, and of course maintaining the safety of the humans who care for them. Click here to learn about becoming a Dog Volunteer.

Fundraising/Administrative Volunteers assist Found in a wide variety of important roles from fundraising and special events to helping screen potential adopters or assisting at the front desk. Found needs volunteers to help with our everyday operations so our rehabiliation center can function smoothly at all times. Click here to learn about becoming a Fundraising/Administrative Volunteer
