Independent Animal Rescue is a volunteer-powered, foster-based nonprofit, and our ability to help animals depends on having volunteers who are willing to give their time, skills, and compassion.
If you love animals and would like to help, we’d love to have you join us. There are many ways to volunteer with IAR, even if you’re unable to foster or have limited time to give. From helping with transportation and adoption events to administrative and hands-on support, every volunteer plays an important role in helping animals find safety and loving homes.
Ready to get involved? If you’re 18 or older, fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch. Volunteers under 18 are welcome, too, but a parent or guardian must complete the form and volunteer alongside you.
Thank you for considering sharing your time with IAR. We’re grateful for every volunteer who helps us give animals the care and second chances they deserve.
Please note that in order to foster you must be at least 21 years old, have permission from your landlord if you are renting and not be an undergraduate student.
Featured Volunteer Needs
FOSTER PARENTS are always needed—particularly in the spring, when lots of kittens and puppies are being born. IAR provides all food, medical care, supplies, and extensive training for foster parents.
