Outreach Events and Pop-Up Clinics

These opportunities are a great way to meet the people (and their pets!).) we serve. During the events, our volunteers help us prepare the spay and neuter clinic, coordinate food and gear, and assist with vaccination procedures. We need your help bagging food, sorting donations, maintaining inventories, and transporting supplies.

Transporting Pets to Medical Services

Our compassionate volunteers serve a tremendous need for our unhoused and very low-income community by transporting pets to obtain their medical assistance. We need your help transporting dogs and cats to spay/neuter clinics and other medical appointments. Please note that we do not transport people—we only transport their pets.

Deliveries and Pickups

If you have a reliable vehicle and are physically able to pack and unpack goods, we need your help. We rely on our volunteers to help us deliver food and supplies to program recipients and to pick up donations from businesses and people in our community.

Education and Resources

An integral part of our operations is educating our community about our services. From getting the word out to people who need medical care for their pets to helping people understand how our services support the community and how they can help, our education work never ends.

Fundraising

We could not serve our community without financial support from generous people and businesses. We need volunteers who are excited about our mission and can help us develop fundraising ideas and coordinate events to generate financial support. Some examples of fundraising include grant writing, in-person presentations, and our annual fundraising event. We are always seeking new ideas for fundraising and welcome your assistance in any way you feel confident and skilled.

Administration

Rogue Valley Street Dogs is an active organization that requires day-to-day administrative support. If you have a little extra time in your schedule, we can use your help for various functions like answering the phone, responding to emails, performing data entry, and other administrative support work.
