Volunteer

We are ALWAYS looking for passionate people to join the Wagging Dog Team! Contact us to learn more about our volunteer opportunities. It takes a bunch of dedicated people to keep a small, busy animal rescue running. Lots of volunteer work can even be done remotely.

Check out some of the many ways you can help below, or fill-out our volunteer application and tell us about your special skill or how you’d like to help! You can email the completed application to volunteer@waggingdog.org.

We are desperate for creative writers to help with our FB and IG pages! We’ve been rescuing hard for 15 years while life has come upon some of our key team and whacked us over the head. Our social presence has declined over the last few years which means our community support has taken a hit. We really need to be more active on social and work to increase our donor base with quality (vs quantity) content.

Are you passionate about animals and rescue, and social savvy with mad creative writing skills? We need you! We use Google Drive and Dropbox to share info about our critters. Facebook has a scheduling tool which allows admins to donate writing time when they can, and schedule posts to publish when our viewers are online. Also comes in handy if a volunteer is working remotely in another time zone. Writing for our Orphans is one of the most important aspects of our rescue effort. We hope you’ll join our creative team!

Check out our Foster page to read about the various fostering needs of Wagging Dog Rescue! We need dog and cat fosters, forever/compassion fosters, and even feral cat fosters!

Are you skilled with WordPress and Divi Builder? HAALLLLLPPPPP!!! We need you!! If you have a bit o’ time to help us keep our awesome site current and running smoothly – and showcasing our Orphans to their fullest – please send us a volunteer app ASAP and we’ll get in touch right away. Thank you!

This is a nonstop job for any charity and particularly critical for a rescue like ours that takes in dogs and cats with higher medical bills. We need people who can find creative ways to garner us some much needed dough – people who get things done, ‘Go Getters’ to get us some Barks! I mean, Bucks!! If you’d like to help with this very crucial need, please send us a volunteer app stat and let us know you’re WDR’s new money maker!

We’d REALLY love to do more with videos to help our orphans find their forever homes. Studies show that pet listings with a video receive 75% MORE ADOPTION INTEREST! If you have crafty skills in the video department and the makings of a star producer, get in touch and let’s make some movies!! Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth even more. Nothing quite captures the joy and spirit of our companion pets like a good moving picture. Help potential adopters really SEE our Wagging Dogs and Cats as a special part of their forever families!!

Got some extra Facebook savvy? Have a FB developer account already and familiar with custom tabs and stuff? The only other thing we would need from you is a bit of your time to help us make our page supah cool! 🙂 Let us know!

In a big world of dog/cat rescues and animals to adopt, we want to make sure our WDR Orphans get the best possible chance at a loving forever home. If you’ve got an eye for design and are interested in making unique eye-catching Facebook cover photos, fliers, logos, t-shirt designs and other forms of media, we’d be grateful for your talents, time and expertise. Our Orphans will be pretty grateful too 🙂 We also have a simple need for someone who can edit photos of our pack, lightening up shadows, sharpening phone pics, cropping, and adding text/logo before we upload our dog and cat pics for use. This work is best done in a fairly quick turnaround (few days vs. few weeks?), because we are always in dire need of new pics from our foster parents so we can spread the word about our available critters. If you’re artistically talented and have time to help us with any of these design needs, please contact us today!
