Our organization would not exist without the help of our dedicated volunteers.
There are no paid employees or staff at Pug Rescue of Austin. There are many rewarding opportunities to get involved and make a huge difference in the lives of these loving animals. We would love to hear from you!
Foster/Transport:
These volunteers are usually the first ones to be notified when new pugs are arriving into rescue. As a Transport Volunteer you will be notified when we need a Pug transported from one location to another. (From a shelter to our Vet Clinic as an example).
A foster volunteer plays a very important role and brings a Pug into their own home and provides a warm and loving environment until the Pug is adopted and finds his or her forever home. You will be required to complete a foster application in order to be considered for this volunteer placement. Click here to get started!
Applicant Screeners:
You will help by contacting applicants that have submitted an adoption application.
You will go through the application over the phone and also contact their references.
