Individual Volunteers

Individual Volunteers
Volunteers are crucial to NMDR’s mission and we value the time and love that you can give to our dogs and organization. Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age. Those between 15-18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The goal of our Volunteer Program is to help our furry canines build confidence, expose them to relationships that are nurturing and compassionate, and help them discover trust in others. In order to reach these goals, we have a wide variety of ways volunteers can help:

● Accompany other volunteers in a pack walk or puppy party
● Learn the skills to provide important enrichment activities for our dogs
● Participate in the Rescue offloading and intake of newly rescued dogs
● Help out at events, outreach programs, and adoption fairs
● Join the Bathing/Grooming Team or Rehabilitation Team
● Utilize your social media skills to help our dogs get adopted
● Contribute to maintenance and upkeep of our facility

Other ways to volunteer:
Experienced or enjoy handyman or construction? We often have improvement or repair projects that we need extra hands and strong backs to make happen.
