Be the Reason Tails Keep Wagging.
Volunteers make rescue possible.
Rescue doesn’t run on luck—it runs on people like you. Whether you’ve got 5 minutes or 5 hours a week, there’s a way you can help save lives. You don’t have to foster, fund, or have dog experience to make a difference. You just have to care.
Why Volunteer with Pits & Pals?
❤️ Direct Impact
Every hour you give helps a dog get closer to home—whether that’s through transport, photos, admin support, or just some much-needed love.
📍 Local & Grassroots
We’re a small, passionate team based in Sacramento County. You’ll see exactly where your efforts go and the lives you’re changing.
📣 Flexible Roles
Introvert or extrovert, homebody or hustle-mode—we’ve got a spot that fits your time, skills, and comfort level.
Volunteer Opportunities:
You don’t need experience—just heart and reliability. Most roles are flexible around your schedule, and we’ll match you with something that fits your life. Volunteers must be 16 or older (under 18 may require a guardian’s consent), but that’s it. If you care, you’re qualified.
Transport Help: Drive dogs to vet appointments, fosters, or adoption events.
Event Support: Help at fundraisers, adoption events, or community outreach.
Admin/Behind the Scenes: Help with emails, social media, applications, and data entry.
Photography & Marketing: Help showcase adoptables with great photos and bios.
Fundraising & Grant Writing: Help us grow our mission (and our vet budget).
Skilled Trades: Are you a groomer, trainer, or know your way around a wrench? We love you already.
