Volunteer Opportunities
Thanks for your interest in volunteering for Idaho Golden Retriever Rescue. IDGRR has a unique foster to adopt model. We want to keep our Goldens out of stressful environments, therefore, all of our dogs go into foster homes before they are adopted. We have many needs that can help make this transition smoother for every Golden. Tell us how you'd like to help and we'll be in touch.
Transporting
Goldens need rides — to the vet, back from a shelter, or on to their foster or forever home. A car and a free morning is most of what it takes.
Fostering
Fosters are a vital part of our rescue program — we can never have too many homes. If you think you might be interested in fostering, we want to talk to you.
Applicant interviews
Talk with prospective adopters and fosters about their home, their routine, and the golden who would suit them best.
Adoption fairs and events
We get invited to community events through the year — meet-ups at local breweries, adoption fairs and the like — and we always need people to meet the public and talk about Goldens.
Fundraising
We have a fundraising committee that plans and schedules fundraising activities and needs hard-working volunteers to help.
Social media
Post the dogs and their stories, and help us reach more people on Facebook and Instagram.
