Thank you for your interest in volunteering with RRFS! As an all-volunteer organization, RRFS is truly community-run, and our volunteers are the backbone of our day to day operations. Our rescued animal friends depend on committed volunteers to ensure that they have everything they need to live a happy and healthy life. Volunteering is a truly rewarding experience and will give you a unique opportunity to get to know our rescued friends and make a difference.

PLEASE NOTE: We ask that you only apply if you are truly interested and committed to volunteering. It takes a significant investment of time to train new volunteers and as you can probably imagine, in running a sanctuary, our time is precious.

Please read the following requirements before applying:

Shifts to choose from will be on the application form!
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old
Must be able to lift 30 or more pounds and willing to work in a variety of weather conditions
The volunteer tasks primarily consist of cleaning animal living areas. This means shoveling and scooping lots of poop, raking hay and shavings, scrubbing water bowls and filling them, sweeping areas, replacing bedding, and other related tasks. We need help year round, rain or shine, so please be prepared! The work is very physically demanding!
Failure to show up or consistently canceling scheduled shifts can lead to termination from the program

If you are ready to apply, and can commit to the minimum volunteer requirements, please fill out an application and we will contact you (please note that filling out an application does not guarantee acceptance into the volunteer program)

We look forward to hearing from you!
