Thank You for Volunteering! 

Let's Get Started:

In order to ensure the safest and most positive experience for both dogs and volunteers, we ask you to please review the following Dog Walking , and In- Shelter Help orientation videos. While no prior experience is required to volunteer at CCR, we do require that you familiarize yourself with the dog body language and signs of stress handouts and Dog Behavior 101 video. You can reference these prior to any opportunity that you participate in. Please review them closely before signing up for any volunteer opportunities.

When arriving for shifts- be sure to check- in through Galaxy! See that process, here.

The team at Chicago Canine Rescue, along with the animals, are incredibly grateful for your support. We hope your volunteer journey is rewarding, fulfilling, and brings positive change to both you and the animals you help.
