Volunteers Only: Your Role at Little Tails Rescue

This page is for the people who make our no-kill mission possible. As a volunteer with Little Tails Rescue, you are part of a South Florida team dedicated to rescuing, treating, and rehoming animals in need. Whether you help at events, support foster families, or lend a hand behind the scenes, your time is one of the most valuable gifts our rescue receives.

What to Expect as a Volunteer

Volunteering is hands-on and heart-driven, but it also takes reliability and care. Please review your assignment details before each shift, arrive ready to follow guidance from our volunteer coordinators, and treat every animal, adopter, and fellow volunteer with respect. Because we are a nonprofit, your professionalism helps us stay focused on the animals.

  • Follow coordinator instructions and safety guidelines at all times.
  • Communicate promptly if your availability changes.
  • Keep animal handling calm, gentle, and consistent.
  • Represent Little Tails Rescue with kindness in the community.
  • Respect the privacy of adopters, fosters, and fellow volunteers.

Staying Connected

Volunteer needs shift with the animals in our care, so check in with your coordinator for current opportunities and updates. Your generosity of time directly fuels rescue, treatment, and adoption work across South Florida.
