Volunteer for Adoption Events

DULCE VIDA RESCUE

About Us

Dulce Vida Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned and abused dogs and cats across California and Mexico. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming, we give animals a second chance at life. Our work is powered by a passionate team—and the generosity of volunteers like you.

Role Summary

Love animals and want to make a difference every weekend? Join us at our Saturday adoption events to help dogs meet their future families! As an Adoption Event Volunteer, you’ll play an essential role in creating a positive, welcoming experience for potential adopters and helping our dogs shine.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with event setup and breakdown (tents, tables, crates, supplies)
  • Walk, comfort, and socialize dogs during the event
  • Speak with potential adopters and share information about each dog’s personality and story
  • Ensure dogs stay safe, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the event
  • Help with photos, social media, and general event support as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • A love for animals and compassion for rescue work
  • Reliability and a positive attitude
  • Ability to handle dogs safely and follow team instructions
  • Availability on Saturdays for at least 3 hours (flexible scheduling)

What You’ll Gain

  • Hands-on experience working with rescue dogs
  • The chance to help pets find loving homes
  • A fun, supportive community of fellow animal lovers
  • Volunteer hours and community service credit (if applicable)
