Fundraising events

​

We can always use help at our special fundraising events like yard sales, restaurant fundraisers, community events, self-organized events, and more.  Our volunteers help organize and manage events by representing C.A.R.E to the public, assisting at our public events, and helping with retail sales of merchandise, when needed.

 

Transporters

​

We rely on volunteers to help us save dogs from shelters both locally and outside of the Richmond area.  Transporters assist with bringing dogs or donations to our facility or to events and may require the use of your personal vehicle.  When possible, SUVs and vans often work best for transporting dogs, as they will be in various size crates.

​

Kennel Housekeeping

​

Kennel volunteers help with cleaning dog runs and crates, walking dogs at our private kennel, laundering towels and bedding, washing dog bowls and other kennel items.  C.A.R.E. can also use help keeping vehicles clean and maintaining kennel grounds and equipment.

 

Fundraising

​

Fundraising volunteers assist with planning and organizing activities to generate funds to support the organization, including our adoptable and sanctuary dogs.  Fundraising activities may include reaching out to sponsors, managing advertising, researching opportunities, writing grant applications, coordinating activities, etc.

 

Administrative Tasks

​

There are a variety of other ways to assist C.A.R.E, including preparing “thank you” letters for donors, organizing data, record keeping, registering microchips, and maintaining databases of donors.  Some of these tasks may require training with our more experienced volunteers.
