We greatly appreciate the help of volunteers to give our dogs the TLC and exercise they need daily.

VOLUNTEER

Would you like to volunteer with us? We would love to have you!

STEP ONE: Please submit a Volunteer Application.

STEP TWO: You will then receive a Volunteer Waiver to your email via Docusign. (Response time can vary but we try to get back to you as soon as we are able; we appreciate your patience & understanding.) No volunteer hours can be booked or participated in without a signed waiver.

ALL ATTENDEES MUST HAVE A COMPLETED WAIVER TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY VOLUNTEER SESSION. NO EXCEPTIONS.

STEP THREE: Review our Volunteer Guidelines. Following the volunteer guidelines is imperative to a successful and safe experience for everyone. Please review them carefully prior to your first shift.

STEP FOUR: Only AFTER completing the Volunteer Waiver, please use our Volunteer Scheduling System to book your volunteer hours.

WHEN SIGNING UP, PLEASE NOTE:
* Please make sure the name you book under is the SAME as on your volunteer waiver and is entered exactly the same way each time you book a slot.
** If under 18, please put your age in parentheses next to your name when booking a volunteer slot. Please confirm that your guardian has countersigned your volunteer waiver prior to attending.

MINORS

Lucky Dog Refuge DOES allow minors ages 11 years & older to volunteer at Lucky Dog Refuge; however they must have a guardian countersign their waiver AND supervise the volunteer session. Please read the following guidelines carefully:

  • ALL participants under the age of 18 must have a guardian countersign their waiver; the guardian will receive a copy of the waiver by email only AFTER the minor has filled out and submitted his/her portion - even if the email is the same for both.

  • The minimum age to volunteers is 11 years old.

  • If volunteer is between the ages of 11-16, a guardian must accompany and supervise the minor during the entire visit.

  • At age 17, volunteers may attend alone but guardian must sign still counter-sign the waiver.

These guidelines are in place for the safety of the minors and therefore we cannot permit exceptions.
