Get Involved

Every shelter needs staff (paid) and volunteers to run it. The animals wont get fed, walked, enrichment, medical care or adopted out without a dedicated team of people coming together daily to aid in their day to day tasks. Enrichment is HUGE in the success of these animals, making them approachable and wanted by potential adopters is key. 

Rescues and shelters need people who are willing to transport animals to foster homes, vet appointments, to/from the airport/ferry. This is a low commitment task that is a huge help, the only cost to you is your gas.

Fostering whole heartedly saves lives. Whether you are a "foster fail" or a foster who keeps having the animals successfully get adopted where you can open your doors to another, you are saving 3 lives each time. The adopted, the new foster and the kennel/intake space that was opened because of you. Foster families are set up with all the supplies you need, no cost to you unless you choose to spoil the animal.

Fundraising is a great way to support a local rescue if you are not able to physically have a animal, if your a student or you have a little extra time on your hands to help out your local community. Bottle Drives, 50/50's, Auctions and GoFundMe pages are some highly successful ways of raising funds. 

Sponsoring an animal (or a few) is a great way of supporting international and local rescues foundations and sanctuaries. This ensures this specific animal is taken care of until his/her adopter comes along or in the case they live out their lives in the sanctuary setting.

Donating is a fantastic way to support local rescues so they can continue to do the good work that they do. Most rescues have a way to donate monthly or a one-time donation. Donations go towards ongoing veterinary expenses (which are high), food, shelter, toys, bedding, leashes and collars.
