Would you like to help DOGS and CATS get ADOPTED?!

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is looking for volunteers that would like to be Cat Adoption Coordinators! We are a foster-based rescue in the VA, MD, DC area that pulls kittens and cats from high kill shelters across the rural south and places them in foster care to get adopted! We need volunteers willing to train to become Dog and Cat Adoption Coordinators and help us get these wonderful animals adopted! Interested in learning more - reach out to volunteering@luckydoganimalrescue.org and we will send you info on our next AC information session/training! About the Adoption Coordinator (AC) role: What is it? Adoption Coordinators are the main advocates for our dogs and cats! They not only work to match our animals with potential adopters, but they also serve as a critical resource to our foster parents. ACs choose the animals they want to be responsible for, ensure they are properly posted online, and discuss them with interest adopters. ACs review ALL applications that come in for those animals -- and if they are not previously pre-approved, ensure that we complete a vet check and landlord check (if applicable), conduct a phone screen, and, when needed, find a home visit volunteer. Time Commitment? Adoption Coordinators are one of our most important groups of volunteers. Typically, ACs dedicate anywhere from 5-15 hours a week to Lucky Dog. Having regular access to email is super important! Adoption Coordinators are also required to attend at least 2 adoption events per month and 1 transport per month. This is a great opportunity to meet your dogs and cats and chat with their fosters! Training Needed? All Adoption Coordinators go through a virtual AC training and shadow at one of our Sunday adoption events. Once they have completed that, they will go through a mentoring phase before they work on their own.

Puppy Foster Team!

Flexible Schedule | Arlington, VA 22207

The Puppy Foster Team is desperate to add new puppy fosters to our ranks! The more fosters we have, the more puppies we can save from the shelters. Puppy fostering is rewarding, fun and who doesn't want to cuddle a puppy. We have puppies of all ages needing fosters - 2 shot puppies and fully vaccinated puppies - 8 week old puppies through to 6 month old puppies! Whatever age you are comfortable with, we can find the perfect puppy foster for you! We have single puppies and litters needing foster homes - puppies can't go into boarding like adult dogs so they must have a committed foster to escape the shelter. Can you be a puppy foster hero?

Organization Information

Mission Statement

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, primarily dogs from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities, we are able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

Description

About Us

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless animals and educating the community on responsible pet ownership. Lucky Dog does not have its own facility. Instead, our dogs stay with temporary fosters (and occasionally boarding partners) while they wait to find their forever home. We hold adoption events each week where you can see the Lucky Dogs strut their stuff, and we also arrange private meetings for adopters who fall in love with a pup's internet photo. Our volunteers are more than just volunteers, and our dogs are more than just dogs. We are a family. And we welcome you to become a part!

Absolutely wonderful people, great communication, easy instruction and so much fun!

The volunteers that connect on our website tomorrow depend on the donors of today.
