Homeward Trails has rescued over 8,000 animals through an amazing network of dedicated volunteers who perform a variety of tasks that help save the lives of dogs and cats in need. Volunteers are critical to our success and perform many vital functions at Homeward Trails, including fostering dogs and cats, visiting the homes of those who want to adopt pets and helping with events.

You will find a number of opportunities that allow you to participate in a meaningful way with the flexibility to participate as your schedule allows:

  • Fostering – Provide a temporary home for a rescued animal until a permanent one can be found. If you're interested in fostering, please check out the page about the Foster Program.
  • Conducting home visits – Ensure a potential adopter's home provides a quality environment for our animals
  • Transportation – Drive animals from our shelters partners, to and from adoption events and medical visits and help meet transports when they arrive.
  • Events – Provide support for adoption events and/or special fundraising events throughout the year. To check out some of our upcoming events, go to our Events Page.
  • Fundraising - help us raise needed funds to keep going!

You can become an HT volunteer by completing our Volunteer Questionnaire below. After you fill it out, our volunteer coordinator will follow up with you.
