VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – Rescue Me WV Is Growing!
Rescue Me WV is expanding — and we need YOU to help us keep saving lives. As our rescue grows, so does the need for dedicated, compassionate volunteers. Whether you can give a few hours a month or more, there is a place for YOU on our team.
Here are just some of the ways you can make a real difference:
* Fundraising Team: Be the lifeline for dogs in need. Every dollar raised means another vet bill paid, another belly fed, another tail wagging.
• Reach out to businesses for donations & sponsorships
• Spread the word about fundraising events
• Volunteer at events that are fun AND lifesaving
* Event Staff: Assist at adoption events, fundraisers, and other events throughout the year.
* Home checkers : Visit potential adopters or fosters using a simple checklist. We provide training — you provide the heart. We REALLY need home checkers!
* Application Processors: Help review foster and adoption applications. Training provided.
* Transport Team: Help get dogs safely to and from vets or shelters. Pick up food or medications when needed. (We provide crates, seat belts, and supplies!)
* “Pawparazzi” Team: Walk shelter dogs and take photos/videos to boost their chances of finding forever homes.
* Meals on Wheels (MOW) Program: Each week, volunteers prepare care bags with food and supplies for pets whose owners are homebound. Because of this program, pets stay fed, healthy, and right where they belong — at home with the families who love them.
This is more than volunteering. This is saving lives. This is second chances. If you’re interested in joining our team, please complete our volunteer application and one of our volunteers will reach out to you.

After the above is completed and you are approved, watch our Facebook page and website for a dog you would be interested in fostering and send us a message. Our rescue supplies everything while a dog is under foster care (supplies, food, all vetting, etc.).
A foster to adopt program. We use a process of fostering leading to adoption. The dog will be in your home during the "foster to adopt period". If it is a good fit you will be able to adopt.
