VOLUNTEERS
ARPH relies on its volunteers who
give selflessly of their time, talents,energy, and love. We
need your help and the help of every Aussie lover to rescue
as many dogs as possible. Please consider becoming a
volunteer. There are a number of opportunities available.
General Volunteers
- This group
performs a multitude of jobs, They may do home visits,
screen applications, help with transporting a dog,
fundraise, maintain webpages, help at rescue booths and
whatever other jobs may arise. This is a great way to
begin in rescue and acquaint yourself with how it works.

Foster
Homes -
We especially enjoy hearing from folks who might be willing
to be temporary foster families for Aussies awaiting
adoption. Our Fosters are our saviors. We depend on them
heavily to give us more information about the Aussie that
they are caring for. These volunteers care for ARPH dogs in
their own homes. They are often called upon to have dogs
vetted, do some training and socializing of the dogs, and
speak to potential adopters. They work hand in hand with
the reps, as they are the ones who get to know the dogs the
best. Their evaluation of a dog's personality and
temperament helps the rep place the dog in the most
appropriate home. Some experience with training is very
useful, but not required. Veterinary expenses are
reimbursed; foster homes supply food and most importantly
love to homeless Aussie

not.

THE AUSSIE CUR (CANINE UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD)
Think you might like to help
Aussie rescue in some way, but can't foster? Sometimes an
adopter wants to adopt an Aussies who is being fostered in
another state, or a volunteer who can't foster another
Aussie can spring an Aussie from a shelter, but the foster
home is some distance away. If you have a car and a little
time, you could help transport Aussies from shelters to
foster homes or from foster homes to forever homes. The
Aussies, the adopters and the foster homes would be very
grateful for your help! Please consider signing up for the
Aussie CUR (Canine Underground Railroad) list on Yahoo!
Groups. You will only receive emails looking for transport
help--no deluge of off topic chit-chat emails. Most
transport legs are under 100 miles one way.

If
you don't have the time to volunteer, there's still one
more way to help. Our volunteers spend much of their own
money on rescues.
