Volunteer as a group with Dog Star Rescue

Corporate and other larger groups welcome

Dog Star Rescue’s Corporate Volunteer Program offers teams the opportunity to make a meaningful, hands-on impact by supporting the critical behind-the-scenes work that keeps our rescue running. These experiences are structured, team-oriented, and designed to provide a tangible, measurable impact in a short time, directly support dog care and adoption outcomes, and strengthen team collaboration and engagement.
