Volunteer

Attend a Meet ’n Greet - These are the events where our foster dogs meet potential adopters, a step towards finding their forever homes. We are always in need of volunteers to transport and hold fosters, set up and break down the booth, take the dogs on potty breaks, fill water bowls and talk to potential adopters. We typically hold one to two of these events on the weekends. Each event requires at least 3-5 dogs and 5-10 volunteers. If you have a free time on a Saturday afternoon and can help, please let us know.

Participate in a Special Event - We take advantage of several special event opportunities throughout the year. These events help us raise funds for our foster dogs which helps cover their medical expenses. They not only benefit the Labs, they are also fun. We have recently participated in Wrapping for Retrievers, Washes and Wags and the Byron Nelson. We also host our annual Run for Retrievers and the Sporting Chance Golf Tournament.

Host a Meet ’n Greet - In addition to the Meet ’n Greet we routinely hold, we are open to hosting in new locations where we can expand our reach. Do you know of a great new location in a pet store, at a neighborhood function such as a vendor fair or at a special event that you would like to host? If so, let us know. We have had recent success setting up in these types of locations and we are open to considering others.

Volunteer to Perform Home Studies in your Area - We receive applications from potential adopters from all over the Metroplex. Occasionally we do not have adequate coverage for some of the areas. This can result in delayed home studies for some applicants, something we want to avoid. If this interests you, please let us know. We can provide training with a seasoned volunteer until you are ready to do a few on your own.

Serve on a Committee or Serve as an Event Coordinator - We routinely post requests for committee members or event coordinators. These opportunities can range from fundraising to coordinating the volunteers, schedules and activities at special events such as our Run for Retrievers, the Sporting Chance Golf Tournament, or the Byron Nelson. These are fun ways to get involved and meet fellow volunteers.

Do you have others ideas or want to help but have a limited schedule? If so, just let us know what interests you and how much time you have. We can find the perfect volunteer opportunity to fit your schedule. Even volunteering an afternoon or two every once in a while can make all the difference for a lab in need.
