DDR Volunteer Application

DDR 2021 Volunteer Application
Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer with

Doodle Dandy Rescue!

As an all volunteer organization, we are always looking for enthusiastic Doodle lovers to lend a helping hand, and we are thrilled that you want to join the DDR team. There are many different ways that you can help DDR.

Whether you are a people person, a planner, an accountant, or all of the above, we have a place for you. This questionnaire is designed to help us get to know you, so that we can do our best to place you in a role where your skills will be best utilized and your volunteer experience will be as rewarding as possible.

Once we receive your completed application, you will receive an email from our volunteer coordinator with instructions on how to join Slack, our communication platform.

Please be aware and note:
- We are an all-volunteer organization and, while we do our best to contact volunteers as soon as possible, our volunteers have other commitments that may occasionally cause a delay in their response.
- We are an all foster home organization, and as such do not have a facility that requires volunteers.
