VOLUNTEER

OPPORTUNITIES

 

BE RAD WITH US!

Based in Montreal, Rescue All Dogs is a volunteer run, not for profit dog rescue organization. Contrary to many beliefs, running a dog rescue is not always playing/walking dogs when volunteering. The majority of the nitty gritty work happens in the back end. Without this work daily, we couldn’t help dogs. The majority of our available volunteer jobs require anywhere from 2-10 hours a week. During large intakes, it could be more.

At this time, we are looking for long term volunteers due to the effort and time involved in onboarding new volunteers. We are looking for individuals that are dedicated, hard working, good at working under pressure (as we do get many emergencies) but most of all, reliable optimistic team players wanting to make a difference one life at a time! ALL volunteers must do a criminal background check.

At RAD there is a no discrimination policy, with humans and dogs. 

Do Good. Be RAD.
