Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a volunteer powered, foster based, non-profit animal rescue. Our greatest asset is the dedication and compassion of our volunteers. Our ability to save lives is directly tied to the number of volunteers we have at any given moment.
If you have a passion for animals, and would like to help save lives, please consider volunteering! There are many ways you can help even if you have limited time or resources!
On Going Volunteers
There are many different ways to volunteer! Lucky Dog is made up of volunteer teams, each of which plays a critical role in saving Lucky Dogs and Cats. Depending on the particular volunteer role, the time commitment can be as little as an hour a month or as much time as you have to give! If you have any questions, please contact us.
Adoption Coordinator
Assist in finding homes for lucky dogs by marketing available dogs for adoption, reviewing applications, contacting landlord /vet offices, conducting phone screens, setting up home visits and completing adoption paperwork.
Event Coordinator
Assist in coordinating foster, dog and volunteer attendance for adoption events that take place on Saturday or Sunday.
Contract Reviewer
Help us review our dog, cat, puppy, and kitten contracts with our soon to be adopters! We are looking for a handful of detail orientated, customer service focused volunteers to walk Lucky Dog adopters through their contract as well as their animal's medical records prior to adopting.

Social Media
Assisting to upkeep our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts with relevant and important rescue information. Photoshop experience is a plus, but not required.

Adoption Support Team

Lucky Pup Parties
Volunteer or be an Event Lead for our mid-week Lucky Dog pup parties. These events are held weekdays during business hours with 2-4 dogs joining area businesses for 1.5 hours. It's great exposure for our pups and lots of fun.
Volunteer when you can
We have many Lucky Dog volunteers who assist when they can, but are not able to commit to a recurring role. The only commitment for these roles is to receive a weekly email!
Fundraising
Help Lucky Dog with fundraising events, or general fundraising activities.
Handlers
Join us for an adoption event on Saturday or Sunday and help to handle our dogs while they meet prospective adopters.
Drivers
Help to drive dogs from boarding or foster homes to events or vet appointments. It is helpful if drivers can stay and handle that dog while at the event, but not required.
Virtual Home Visitor
