Foster/Volunteer Opportunities
We rely on our dedicated volunteers to help ensure that our rescue runs like a well oiled machine, our events go off without a hitch, and our animals are given the very best loving care available! Are you interested in volunteering to help rescue animals? Here are just a few of the areas where we need volunteers currently:
- Foster Homes (critical need) – See Below For More Information
- Performing virtual home visits
- Application Processing
- Transport
- Fundraising
- Grant Writing
- Social Media
- Tie Blanket Making
- Donation pick-up
- Nonprofit Bookkeeping
- Community Liaison (a contact point for community groups who want to help)
Simply fill our our volunteer application. A member of our team will contact you within 24-48 business hours to chat with you about how you can help!
We don’t maintain a set schedule for foster homes or volunteers. Rather, when a need arises we post to our volunteer group. If our volunteers are available to help with an event, or a task they will promplty let us know that they can cover it.
We do ask that our volunteers give at least a couple of hours per month assisting with some sort of needed task. That can even be sharing our social media posts to various groups online.
All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. However, we do have projects, such as making tie blankets that are perfect for our younger friends who want to help.
No. Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue is a foster-based animal rescue. We do not warehouse our pets in a central facility. Rather, they are all living in private, loving homes. If you would like to play with puppies, we would encourage you to apply to become a foster home with us.

Foster With Us - Saving lives is a rewarding experience
Do you have a soul moving desire to help animals who desperately need a hero?

If you answered yes to all of the above, we’d like to chat with you! You can complete our Foster Application by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.
Positive Restorations Animal Rescue is venturing into an area of rescue, where we must secure a trustworthy, reliable, responsible network of experienced foster families. We are NOT one of those rescues who does only the bare minimum (if that) to move animals through the system in search of profit. Quite the opposite, actually. We genuinely love and care for every single animal who comes through our door, and we will do what we have to do, to make sure that animal gets any medical care they need, support our foster families, and ensure that our precious animals move on to only the most perfect home for them.
