Do we need volunteers?
Yes! Always! We need volunteers scheduled to come a certain day each week to help feed, water, care for the dogs and cats, and clean. We also need volunteers to walk dogs, take photos and write bios to help dogs and cats get adopted. Would you like to help by applying to grants? Please! We need you! Would you like to help out at events? We need you! Anything you can think of we'd need to run a growing rescue is something we need.

Interested in fostering? 
Fostering helps save lives! Fostering is free--we provide a kennel, food, and all medical needs for the foster dog or cat. The average time of fostering is 2-4 weeks. We have young and old, large and small, and can find a foster that will fit smoothly into your home! Please fill out the application below. If you don't hear back from us within a week, please reach out to our foster coordinator at fosters@charmingpetrescue.org!

Also note: Cats will stop the labor if they feel vulnerable to their environment as if a predator is stalking them it will cause all of them to die. It's good to have a pet cam in there.
