Please select NO MORE THAN THREE interests that best suit your qualifications, and provide the additional information requested for each.

Adoption Events

Muttville holds adoption events every Saturday and Sunday from 12-4pm at our HQ. We need volunteers who enjoy working with people and are enthusiastic about promoting animal adoption to help set up, talk to the public about our organization, care for the dogs during the event, and promote adoptions.

Outreach Events

Do you love mutts and want to share that love with the public? Outreach is a dynamic and fun way to spread our message to folks who may not necessarily know about us. No experience required, just a friendly demeanor, a passion for senior dogs, and a desire to help grow the Muttville community of adopters, fosters, volunteers, and mutt guardians. These events occur at all different times/locations and may require a little travel. We'd love to have you!

While it is not required to have a car to volunteer for outreach events, it helps us to know which volunteers on this team are able to assist in transporting equipment, materials, other volunteers and/or dogs to events.

Do you have a driver's license? Yes No

Do you own or have regular access to a car? Yes No

Transport

Members of this team will be on call to transport our dogs to and from adoption events, vet appointments, shelters, and foster homes. On occasion, team members may be asked to perform a home-safety check.

Transport volunteers must provide proof of a current, valid state-issued driver's license, as well as current automobile insurance.

Do you own or have regular access to a vehicle? Yes No

If "yes", what type/size of vehicle (passenger car, van, SUV, etc.)?

Some of our transport needs are last-minute and time-sensitive. Are you available for such calls? Yes No

Administrative

Over at Muttville HQ, volunteers are crucial in helping to keep our administrative systems maintained and functioning well. We need help with everything administrative, including data entry, mailings, correspondence, and many other day-to-day tasks.

Do you have internet access from home? Yes No

Please describe your administrative experience.

Do you have any data entry/database experience? If so, please describe.

Special Event Planning

Muttville holds a number of special fundraising events throughout the year that are a major source of our revenue. We need volunteers to help in every stage of planning and facilitating these special events.
