Volunteer
We Need You!
Companion Pet Rescue consists almost entirely of volunteers.
Volunteers — the Pit Crew — help with our super fun adoption events which we have throughout the year at various cities in Connecticut. We also need volunteer help for fundraising and to host fundraisers and supplies drives for us, to occasionally pick up a pup for an adopter who cannot make transport, to help with promotions and marketing of the dogs in need, and to walk dogs at our adoption center in Southbury. If you’re a professional photographer or just have a really great camera, we always need great pics of our dogs available for adoption too!
Reliable foster homes are always needed in West Tennessee, and we occasionally have fostering needs in Connecticut, especially for our adult dogs (all of whom are good with kids and other dogs!).
