Areas of Interest

Please select all of your volunteer interests.

Adoptathon Staffing
New Leash adoptathons are held twice a month at the Raleigh PetSmart. Adoptathons provide those interested in adopting a dog an opportunity to meet our wonderful dogs. They also provide us, as volunteers, an opportunity to meet prospective New Leash adoptive owners, answer their questions, and provide them with information about our organization and dogs. It also gives us a chance to carefully screen prospective owners to determine if they can provide a permanent loving home for a New Leash dog. Adopting a New Leash animal is a lifelong commitment and is to be taken very seriously. Therefore, we do everthing possible to find the best match between a dog and it's adoptive owner.

Fundraising & Publicity
Plan or assist with publicity activities such as staffing fundraisers, putting up posters, placing ads, and making phone calls or other tasks that help us find homes for our dogs. Willing hands required, innovative minds a plus. Be a part of our fundraising team and help plan or assist with either large or small activities. Experience is not necessary.

Foster Care
We believe that every dog deserves a good home with a loving family. Until we can find each dog this type of home, all dogs are kept in the loving care of their foster guardian. Foster guardians open their homes and hearts to the many dogs that need New Leash's help. They handle a multitude of responsibilities including: feeding the dog a healthy diet, providing a safe home, vet visit transportation, medication dispersal, and lots of love to the dogs until they can be adopted into a loving, permanent home.

Dog Transportation
Provide transportation of dogs to adoptathons, vet appointments or other locations.

Web Site Assitance
Assist our Webmaster with keeping pictures, articles and links up to date.

Socialization Counselors
Socialization is important in the personality development of all dogs. It is necessary to help dogs get along well with others; to become a well behaved member of its future adoptive family; and to be a confident and psychologically healthy pet. New Leash socialization volunteers work with our puppies & adult dogs exposing them to different people, places and things.
