Volunteer Signup

A significant number of people apply for our rescue dogs, and our adoption counselors are the first line of communication that they have with TXHR.

• • Enter applications into the database
  • Conduct vet checks via telephone
  • Talk with applicants via telephone and email
  • Coordinate with fosters and applicants to arrange for a meet and greet

You must have a valid driver’s license and automobile insurance to volunteer for transportation opportunities.

• Transport huskies from a shelter to our boarding facility or foster, vet appointments, adoption events, or meet and greets
• NOTE: Most transportation activities occur during working hours during the workweek due to shelter and veterinarian office hours.

The lifeblood of a rescue organization is the ability to fund veterinary bills. There is always a need for innovative thinkers who can raise funds through creative ideas. 

• Research and write grants that are available to rescue organizations
• Brainstorm and organize fundraising opportunities

Staying connected with our volunteers, supporters and social media followers is key to maintaining volunteers and finding new volunteers.

• Photograph huskies for use in social media, newsletters, and dog listing sites
• Maintain dog listing sites; requires uploading pictures of huskies, update biographies, writing new biographies, and more

These volunteers keep our veterinary database accurate.

• Keep track of appointments for foster dogs
• Ensure all veterinary paperwork and information is uploaded into our database
• Mail Heartworm Preventative to foster parents monthly
