Volunteer

We offer comprehensive training, so if you have a passion or interest in a specific role or several, we invite you to complete our volunteer application! We offer complete training for all our volunteer roles, ensuring you feel confident & well-equipped to be a part of our amazing team!

Remote role, primarily speaking with pet owners over the phone while educating & guiding them in the rescue of their lost dog. You also may be part of leading a team of field rescuers on a specific case which can be done remotely or in person.

Be a part of our field team helping to track, trap & rescue lost dogs! This can also involve helping to pick up a trapped dog in a trap & helping to return the trapped dog safely to their home.

Do you have experience with event planning or big scale fundraising? If so, we'd love to have you join our crew & help us create a lasting legacy!

Help us build and maintain a strong network of partner rescues willing to accept dogs who are at risk, injured, starving, pregnant, or in immediate danger that we may trap that have been abandoned without an owner. This volunteer serves as the bridge between Red Collar Rescue & Recovery and trusted rescue partners, ensuring every dog has a safe path forward.

Help create flyers for pet owners

There are instances where it may sometimes be useful to have eyes on the sky during a rescue mission. (We do not provide drones soo you would need to provide your own drone.)

We're building a small team of Scout Volunteers who can occasionally check different areas where at‑risk stray dogs or an owner lost dog have been reported being sighted. This is an ongoing volunteer role that helps us respond faster and make safe, informed decisions for both the dog and our rescue team.

What Scout Volunteers do:

• Take a quick look at an area where a dog has been seen
• Note things like foot traffic, noise, access points, and general safety
• Share a brief update so we can determine the best rescue strategy
• No interaction with the dog required
• No experience needed — we’ll guide you
