Volunteer with BDR 

Become a Volunteer

At Birmingham Dog Rescue, volunteers are the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re passionate about hands-on animal care or have skills behind the scenes, there is a meaningful place for you on our team. Every hour you give directly helps save lives.

We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities, including:

  • Clerical & Administrative Support: Help with emails, data entry, scheduling, and organizational tasks that keep our rescue running smoothly.

  • Transport & Transfers: Assist with moving dogs safely from high-kill shelters to our foster network.

  • Foster & Adoption Coordination: Support the process of placing dogs into temporary foster homes and matching them with their forever families.

  • Events & Community Outreach: Lend a hand at adoption events, fundraisers, and educational outreach to spread awareness and connect with the community.

  • Fostering: Provide a temporary, loving home that allows a dog to decompress and prepare for adoption.

  • Marketing, Social Media & Website Support: Help us share our mission, promote adoptable dogs, and reach more people who want to get involved.

No matter your strengths, experience level, or availability, your contribution makes a real difference. We are always looking for dedicated, compassionate individuals to join our volunteer family.
