| To Foster, Volunteer and/or Transport
|
| The Rescue world is comprised of
volunteers who love the breed or just want
to help animals. We appreciate anyone who is interested in helping us carry out
the work at Glen Highland Farm because there's no way we could ever do it alone.
|
|
TRANSPORT:
There are people near and far who help
transport dogs between states, insuring that the dogs can come from pounds all
over to get to us, sometimes by car, sometimes by air. No matter how they
arrive, without each person doing their part in the 'dog chain', these dogs
would not survive. Each person drives a distance of approximately 1-2 hours in
most cases so it’s not a burden on any one person.
|
 |
|
So, if you'd like to help, please
consider TRANSPORT. All you need is to provide us with your phone and email and
whatever distances and areas you're willing to cover and we'll contact you
whenever the need arises to move a dog. If you're called and cannot help out,
that's okay, maybe another time will
work out.
WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF TRANSPORT HELP
SINCE DOGS COME FROM NEW JERSEY, CONNECTICUT, LONG ISLAND, NYC AND OTHER NEARBY
NORTHEAST AREAS.

FOSTERING:
Many people really want to help dogs
directly so they FOSTER. A dog or two will live in your home for two weeks to 1
month until a new home is found. You provide the love, the food and shelter, and
help the dog in whatever ways possible. If you can teach obedience like sit,
stay and come, that's very helpful to getting the dog ready for a new home. If
you can handle some of the vet costs, that's great. Most dogs need a heartworm
test, worming and spaying or neutering. If you cannot do that part, we can cover
the costs.
|
|
We work with you throughout the entire process, reviewing applicants
and facilitating the potential candidates coming to meet the dog. Your role in
knowing the dog is critical to appropriate placement so we work hand in hand
together to understand what's best for each dog.
WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY DOGS NEEDING HELP.

VOLUNTEERING:
Other people really like to get involved
at Glen Highland Farm as a VOLUNTEER. If you'd like to help with the dozen
rescue dogs onsite, we're glad to have extra hands for feeding, walking,
exercising and playing. If you love dogs, this is a great place to be.
Other
ways to volunteer are in helping with mailings, with internet research or
with transport coordination. If you have a special skill, we’re always open to
whatever you’d like to do. For example, some people have graphics backgrounds
and offer to design logos or brochures or the website; other people have
connections for food, supplies and other dog items, so they organize items
coming to us.
WE VALUE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BRING TO
THE RESCUE WORK AND HOPE THAT YOU WANT TO JOIN US IN HELPING THESE GREAT DOGS!
