Volunteer and Foster Opportunities
Looking to get involved? Colorado Puppy Rescue offers a variety of volunteer opportunities!
We’re always looking for foster homes, intake and event volunteers, and crafty volunteers to help support our pups.
Become a foster home
Fostering is a great way to enjoy a temporary or trial experience with a puppy. It’s a great fit for seniors, busy or traveling adults, and families who are deciding if a puppy is the right addition to their home.
Foster families typically pick up puppies on Tuesday evenings and care for them for a minimum of four nights, though longer-term foster opportunities are always available.
Perks of fostering with us:
We provide everything you need to care for your foster puppy, including a crate, food, toys, and veterinary care.
One of the best parts of fostering is that if you fall in love, you may adopt your foster puppy, as long as you follow our adoption process and protocols.
Before fostering your first puppy, you will need to attend an orientation and complete a home check.
To be successful you should:
Live within a 45-minute drive (or reasonable distance) of our adoption center
18741 Ponderosa Dr. Unit D, Parker, CO 80134
Be a household decision-maker
Provide a safe, clean living environment with electricity, running water, and climate control for your foster puppy
What you can expect from us:
Receive orientation instructions within 24 hours of submitting your application
After completing orientation and the quiz, you’ll receive an “active” email and an invite to our foster community within 24 hours
Complete your home inspection, then you’re ready to start fostering puppies of all ages
If you have extra love to give, we always have pups in immediate need
