Help Needed

ADOPTION SITE VOLUNTEER

CRI adoption events take place at the Tomball kennel and at various locations around the Houston area. Volunteers are needed to set up the adoption site, unload/load and walk dogs, provide water and treats to dogs, promote and answer questions about CRI, and help with paperwork.

STREET TEAM

There are about 40 feeding stations throughout the area where CRI works. Volunteers drive the route, replenish the stations, and report to the team on the animals on the streets. When an animal is approved for intake, street team volunteers pick them up and take them to a clinic or our kennel facility.

PHOTOGRAPHER

Great portraits and videos of the dogs in CRI’s program help them get adopted. CRI also needs volunteers to ride with the street team to capture what volunteers do on the streets and in the community daily.  CRI also would love your help at its fundraisers and other events.

COLLECT NEEDED ITEMS

Donations are always needed and welcome.  Needed items include food, training treats, peanut butter, blankets, aluminum pans for food, and much more.

A link to CRI’s Kennel and Street Team Amazon wish lists is here.

KENNEL VOLUNTEER

CRI needs volunteers to visit the dogs at its rescue facility to give them more time out of their kennels, and help with socialization, training,and enrichment. Also helpers are needed for various tasks around the facility such as bathing dogs, doing laundry, cleaning kennels, making repairs, or supplies drives.

FUNDRAISING & SPECIAL EVENTS VOLUNTEER

CRI has many events to help raise money and awareness. Volunteers are needed to organize, staff, and promote the events.
