What
Do Volunteers Do?
All animal rescue groups need
volunteers to operate successfully, and German Shepherd Rescue
of BC is no exception! Volunteering a little bit of your time
goes a long way in helping a needy dog.
Volunteering for GSRBC can be
anything as simple as distributing some flyers about us to
local veterinary offices, grooming businesses, kennels, etc.,
to handing out information about GSRBC at a local event such
as a dog show or craft fair, to transporting dogs from one
local destination to another, to helping us build our mailing
list of German Shepherd lovers in British Columbia, to selling
raffle tickets and fundraising, to out and
out fostering a homeless German Shepherd Dog.
There are many other volunteer
activities which can be fun as well as helpful as you meet
people and talk about our favorite subject: German Shepherd
Dogs! Please consider becoming a member of GSRBC and
volunteering some of your time, whether it be for an hour one
weekend, or fostering full time, or anything in-between. We'd
love to have your help in aiding wonderful German Shepherd
Dogs find happiness in new, permanent homes.
