what do our volunteers do?

foster & respite

Sometimes, our volunteers are also on our foster team - other times they can help support our foster families as "respite" homes, taking animals temporarily while foster families are away, on vacation, etc.

transport

Our volunteers help with our transport to and from shelters across the country. They help us walk and care for the dogs in transit, unload once we arrive back in MI, and connect with our foster families upon arrival.

events

During our adoption events, we rely on our volunteers to help us care for the adoptable animals who are waiting for their forever homes, as well as sell NHPR merchandise, set up and tear down, etc.

Our volunteers also come with NHPR when we volunteer at other animal shelters across the state.
