Volunteer

We Need You!

Companion Pet Rescue consists almost entirely of volunteers.

Our amazing volunteers, known as the Pit Crew, help us run super fun adoption events held every weekend in various towns around Connecticut.

We also need volunteers for:

  • Assisting with promotions and marketing for dogs.
  • Occasionally picking up a dog for a foster that can’t make an event or vet checks.
  • Collecting/picking up donations and supply drive.
  • Fundraising efforts and grant writing.

If you’re a professional photographer, have a great camera, or just take great pics you’re your phone, we’d love your help taking high-quality pictures of our adoptable dogs!

Reliable foster homes are also always needed in West Tennessee and Connecticut, especially for our adult dogs (all of whom are good with kids and other dogs!)
