We’re always looking to expand our family of dedicated volunteers, and we want your help.

We are now looking to fill the positions to the right. Please complete the volunteer application
HERE if you'd like to join the team, and please expect to attend an orientation depending on the position you’ve applied for. (If you don’t hear back right away, please hang in there! We’ve been going through a bunch of transitions recently and will be in touch asap. Can’t wait to meet you!)

All remote positions offer the opportunity for hands on, in person help when you're available to jump in.

All positions are invited to all of our internal social stuff (like monthly Family Meal dinners at the office).

Most positions require a weekly commitment for a period of at least six months, and all volunteers must be 21 or older. (Check out ways to help if you're under 21 here.) 

We expect all of our volunteers to be responsible, punctual, respectful, and committed. Requirements for all positions include: strong communication and organization skills, patience, ability to work in a high stress environment, attention to detail, ability to make a consistent commitment, ability to work well in a team environment. Prior experience with animals a plus.  

Animal Profiles Manager (remote)
Creative and also super organized and detail oriented? This is a digital/remote position that oversees all of our animal listings to ensure that they are created, filled out appropriately, made live to the public, and updated as necessary. This is a crucial position because it ensures that our animals are accurately represented and visible to the public, which gives them exposure to potential adopters. Just as important, it also tells the story of our rescue and allows followers and supporters to understand the number and variety of animals in our care. We’re thinking 0-5 hours a day, 2-5 days a week. Lots of what you do will be independent, but there’s loads of collaborative stuff too so you don’t feel like you’re alone in a bubble.

Dog Foster Home Coordinator (remote)
Type A mother hen types, come on down! This is a position for those who are detail oriented, good at following instructions, organized, on their phones or email all the time, enjoy providing guidance and teaching others, need everything done right. We need people who can commit to being the primary point person for your very own handful of animals. You’ll be the main contact via phone and email for the foster parents — answer questions, hold their hand, arrange meetings, that kind of stuff. This can be done from anywhere that you have internet and phone access, coordinators must be available to check their phone/email regularly throughout each day.

Application Processor (remote)
If you are detail oriented, good at following instructions, organized, analytical, and want to volunteer without leaving your couch, this is the position for you! We need people who we can count on to help us process adoption applications for dogs and cats. This can be done from anywhere that you have internet and phone access. Application processors must have flexibility to work during weekdays 9 to 5-ish because that is generally when references like vet offices are open. The faster we can thoroughly process adoption applications, the faster we can place our animals in forever homes... which means the more lives we can save. This position is just as crucial as any other to our team. (Processors are more than welcome to help in person/play with puppies also as their schedules allow!)

Event Planner (remote and various locations)
Have event experience and creative ideas? We'd love your help! We're looking for volunteers who are independent, driven, imaginative, cooperative, good at following directions, and great at working with a team to pitch and plan fundraisers with us.

Professional Photographer (various locations)
There is no such thing as too many members of our Paw-Parazzi! These professional photographers snap pics of our animals at adoption events and foster homes to help raise awareness and to help our animals find their forever homes as quickly as possible. 

Development Manager (remote)
We’re looking to do a makeover on our donor management system, and some professional guidance would be bomb. If you’ve got experience with newfangled non-profit development, donor management software, etc., holler at us. We’ll hook you up with puppy kisses to the moon and back in return.

Retail Head Honcho (remote/East Village office)
At some point in the near future, we’re planning on designing and launching a retail program. Exciting! But we want it to really blow minds, so we need someone with serious retail management experience to show us the way and spearhead this beast of an adventure.

Dog Trainer (various locations)
Many of the pups we rescue come from neglectful places could use some work on stuff like basic commands, separation anxiety, leash reactiveness, and other common challenges. We need certified trainers who can help guide their foster parents and provide simple tips and insight so we can get these pooches what they need... and into their forever homes faster. 

Transporter (various locations)
Got a set of wheels and time to spare? We regularly need help transporting animals to and from the airport, vet appointments, adoption events, and more.

Volunteer Manager (remote/East Village office)
In search of someone who’s like an HR pro or something else that’s good at handling groups of scattered people from the top. We have an incredible crew and could really benefit from an extra hand keeping everyone in order, on the same page, and having fun! We’d like our volunteer manager to keep track of processing new applications, scheduling orientations, sending weekly check-ins, planning volunteer social events, and more.
