Why volunteer...?

Because you love dogs and would like to surround yourself with other people who share the same passion. If you would like to participate as a PUP volunteer, here is a list of some of the activities our volunteers can choose from:

•   Transport dogs  

from shelters, to the vet, to training, or pick up a dog in transport for one leg of a trip. 

•    Foster a dog  

This is an interim stop for a dog. You’d care for and socialize the dog while a permanent, good home is found. You may also be involved in some of the transport functions, as well as the adoption process.

•    Train a Dog 

Oftentimes dogs require training prior to being permanently placed. A volunteer trainer may house train, leash train or obedience train a dog that has had no exposure to appropriate training or house manners. Your efforts contribute significantly to placing the dog in a good home.  

•    Administrative  

There are numerous tasks involved in relocating and/or re-homing a dog. Your administrative skills in bookkeeping, scheduling, tracking, processing adoption applications or completing paperwork for each dog are important and vital elements in having PUP run effectively and efficiently.
