Dog Transport Volunteer

The vision of Lily’s Legacy is to provide large breed senior dogs (50+ pounds, 7 years or older) a safe and loving home-like setting which provides personal attention, regular food and exercise, medical care, and behavioral training until they can be adopted into a forever home. This includes all senior dogs regardless of medical condition, including those needing hospice care.

Volunteers are a vital component of the ongoing operation of Lily's Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary. They help feed, exercise and provide love to the dogs during their stay at Lily's. Our current volunteer needs are for Transport Volunteers, who drive our dogs from our sanctuary in Petaluma to our partner veterinarians in Fairfax. Transport Volunteers should have prior experience with dogs and be able to handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. If you do not feel comfortable in this role, cuddlers are also a current volunteer need! Our cuddlers do just as their title suggests, getting in some hang time with our senior pups either on the couch or in their kennel.

There are now and will be many opportunities for contributions by volunteers both on and off site. Please let us know of any additional skills or expertise you may want to offer. As a small, primarily volunteer-led organization, we welcome help of all kinds.
