Underdog
Rescue could not survive without the support and commitment of our
wonderful volunteers. In fact, all of our staff members are
volunteers. If you are visiting this page, you understand the value
of volunteering, both for the organization and for yourself.
Thank you for
considering Underdog Rescue to meet this goal. Please look at the opportunities we have listed, but also consider the expertise you
already have (accounting, fundraising, organizational development and
planning, construction, web-design, etc.) and whether that expertise
could help us meet our mission.
Foster Homes
If you have room in your home and in your heart for a temporary pet, we have the need for safe, loving, and committed homes. The commitment to become a foster home will consist of making room in your family for a new member, making time to take foster pets to vet appointments or adoption days, and making a safe and
supportive environment for animals that may have had traumatic pasts.
Ask any one of our current
foster homes this is a great way to help pets find their forever
home. What better way to make a difference in many lives than
to make adoptions possible. Every week our organization has to make
difficult decisions about which dogs and cats we can save from
euthanasia. Unfortunately, we are not able to save every
adoptable animal held in animal control facilities from euthanasia
because of our limited number of foster homes. If you
want to become a part of the solution, consider becoming a foster
home.
Underdog Rescue will provide food and crates to foster homes for the animal to use during their stay. On average our sponsored pets remain
in our care for 2-4 weeks. If you are interested,
please go to the
applications page
and fill out a foster
application.
Underdog Rescue is
desperately seeking foster homes for dogs, especially homes who have
experience with "Bully" breeds. Because of this expressed need
for foster homes, we have brainstormed ideas for enticing new
fosters. These special offers for new foster homes are as
follows:
- A little for you and
your pet! Become a foster home today and we will give you
an additional free bag of food. In addition, you
will have a choice of a bottle of wine, case of soda-pop, or
other drink.
- For every month that
you continue fostering for us, we will enter you into monthly
drawings for exciting giveaways. Items like: gift
certificates to groomers, retailers, restaurants, and other
exciting venues will be a part of the monthly drawings. If
you foster more than one animal at a time you will earn extra
entries into the drawing.
- For each foster home
you recruit into our program you will earn points toward
quarterly prizes.
