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
