Would you like to help our Magnificent Mutts?

Magnificent Mutts Rescue is an all volunteer organization.  Our fosters, marketing, fundraising, event planning, finance and IT department are all volunteers who have one common goal: to save as many animals as we can. 

Below is a list of all the volunteer opportunities available.  If you find one that matches something you would like to contribute to, please fill out our Volunteer Application and we will be in touch!  Thank you so much for your compassion and interest in helping our organization.

Fostering a Cat or Dog

Fostering involves opening up your home to a frightened and alone dog or cat.  Fostering is an excellent opportunity to give an animal a second chance at life and happiness.  It is an extremely rewarding experience to help them find their forever home.  If you are interested in fostering a cat or dog, please fill out our Foster Application.

Handlers for Adoption Events

Adoption Events are usually held on the weekends at various locations.  Many of our volunteers will bring their fosters to these events in hopes of finding their forever homes.  Sometimes if a volunteer cannot make an event, we use "handlers" to step in and introduce the dog to potential families.  Our events are usually about 3 to 4 hours and it's a great opportunity to come and hang out with a furry friend for the afternoon.

Transport

Volunteers transport dogs from various shelters, to our vets, and then to foster homes.

PetCo Cats

Some of our feline friends reside at the PetCo in Hillside, IL.  Once a day volunteers come during regular business hours and clean, feed, and give our cats and kittens some play time.

Sponsor a Dog or Cat (Coming Soon)

You can sponsor a specific dog, puppy, cat, or kitten you see on our website.  Your donation will go directly to the animal you chose to sponsor. Please email us at magmuttsrescue@aol.com for more details.
