There are many ways to show up for a small dog.

You might want a leash in their hand. Others can welcome visitors, foster, raise money, lend professional skills or help us stay connected to the East Bay community.

We’ll help you find a role that fits your time, comfort level and experience.

Walk & Play

Give dogs exercise, enrichment and calm human time. Handling is matched to the dog and to your experience.

Dog Patch help

Support daily care, cleaning, laundry, supplies, organization and the steady work that keeps the rescue running.

Visitor Greeter

Welcome visitors and volunteers, answer basic questions and help people find the right next step.

Fundraise or Donate

Help meet the real cost of rescue, especially the medical care required by vulnerable dogs. $9,000 is sample medical costs for a single medically fragile dog.

Adoption Profiles and Socials

We know dogs are cute, but with a good personality profile they are now lovable. Help write fun dog stories, capture interesting doggy photo to help find each dog a new home.
