    Description

    Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is looking for volunteer dog and cat drivers for our rescue animals!

    We need volunteers that LOVE to drive and are willing to pick up dogs or cats from various locations in VA, MD, DC and deliver them to adoption events or foster homes so they can be safe and find loving adoptive families!

    Many of animals are in local boardng kennels and their only chance to get adopted is to attend Saturday and Sunday afternoon adoption events -- but unless they get a volunteer driver willing to pick them up and drop them back off if not adopted -- they aren't able to attend the events.

    Saturday Hours:

    Drop animal off at event by 11:45am -- pick them back up at 2pm (if the animal gets adopted we call you!)

    Sunday Hours:

    Drop animal off at event by 11:45am -- pick them back up at 3pm (if the animal gets adopted we call you!)

    You choose when you are available and which locations you are willing to drive to! We send weekly emails with which dogs and cats we need help driving and where they are located and you just respond if you are available! Volunteer hours will be signed off for you and your mileage and gas are tax deductible!

    Cats come in travel crates and you can borrow travel crates from us for dogs if you want or you can use their leash to tether them to a headrest in your car!

    Help us save more Dogs and Cats in Need of Loving Homes!!
