Volunteer with Rescue ATX Dogs

Join our mission to save dogs in the Austin Area!

We have plenty of opportunities including fostering, dogsitting, fundraising, and more!

We are a volunteer run organization and appreciate any time and energy our volunteers can spare towards our goal of saving dogs and finding them good homes!

How to Help?

We’re looking for committed volunteers and leaders to fill critical roles that truly change lives. Take a look at our most urgent needs and see how your skills can help more dogs find safety, healing, and forever homes.

  • ostering is providing a temporary home for a rescue dog until they find a forever family. It gives them a safe space to decompress, build confidence, and adjust to home life—all while directly saving a life.

    Reach out to us via email to become an approved foster - and we will get in touch with dogs that may suit your lifestyle!

  • We always need boots on the ground to continue our mission- this includes dog transports, adoption events, and more!

  • Great with canva? Expert on Instagram? We could use your help getting more eyes on our dogs!

  • We’re always looking for more local partners in Austin. Are you friends with lots of brewery owners or business owners who want to help? We need YOU.

  • Email us to join our slack where we communicate about all of our volunteering opportunities, there are always ways to help out!
