Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue

R HOMES! Without the help and support of foster homes, we have to turn needy animals away. Help us solve that problem! Some of our volunteer opportunities include:

Foster Care: Volunteers provide in-home care for animals that are sick or too young for adoption. CBBR will identify animals that require foster care and provide food and equipment to foster homes for the proper care of the animal. Foster homes are licensed by the Department of Agriculture, and are subject to inspection by CBBR on an annual basis. Animal Exercising And Dog Walking: Volunteers work with animals to provide exercise and help continue and improve social skills in the animals. Event Volunteer: Volunteers should be willing to work on an as-needed basis before and during fundraising events. Assistance in preparation for events is also needed, which includes mailing, research, brochure distribution, etc. On event day, duties include setup, decorating, photography/videography, registration, ticket booth, serving, etc. Humane Education: Volunteers will assist in handing out information at the summer fairs, events. Volunteers are also needed to help form new programs for the Humane Educational Initiative. Lost And Found Department: You will help match owners with their lost pets. Duties will include checking lost pet bulletin boards, lost pet ads in the classified newspaper ads, and work with other shelters to locate lost pets. Fundraising Team: You will become part of a team who’s job is to create and put together ways for CBBR to raise money. This can be anything from a candy bar sale, pancake breakfast, to a weight pull event. This team is a really important aspect of rescue, as without funds there is no way for us to continue to operate. This is the department in which we are lacking the most currently, so if you feel this is your strength please contact us.
