City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties is a foster based rescue. At this time we do not have a facility for animals and are unable to assist with volunteer requests looking to work with animals on a daily basis.
Please consider how much time you will have available to assist. Our needs vary from short-term opportunities to leadership opportunities.

Group Volunteers

At this time we do not have a physical shelter. If your group would like to support our rescue efforts there are many creative ways to help.

Create a t-shirt fundraiser.
Host a Yappy Hour at a local bar.
Host a dog or car wash.
Help organize a 5k benefit run/walk event.
Symbolically adopt a dog or cat in need of extra medical care and help raise the funds needed for treatment.

Adoption Counselors:

We are always in need of more adoption counselors. Please complete the application if you are interested. Our adoption counselors have a lot of interaction with potential adopters and fosters. It takes about three hours to process each adoption application and we ask that volunteers try and process one application at a time. This is a very important job because our ability to take in more animals depends upon our ability to process adoption applications in an expedient manner. (Time Commitment: 3-5 hours per week)
