Lend Your Hand
RedRover Responders are volunteers committed to providing care for animals in crisis. As they do, they strengthen their connections to people and pets in their communities and beyond.
Want to make a difference? By joining our team, you’ll be trained to provide daily care for animals rescued from natural and man-made disasters. RedRover Responders count time spent in our temporary, emergency shelters as some of the most satisfying volunteer work they do.
Our diverse group of 4,300 active volunteers comes from all walks of life. The one thing they have in common is their desire to make a difference for animals in need.
Our Impact
What We Do
RedRover Responders work in cooperation with law enforcement, local agencies and animal organizations to shelter and care for animals displaced by natural disasters or rescued in law enforcement seizures. Since 1987, we have cared for thousands of animals in the U.S. and Canada during more than 200 crises. Additionally, RedRover is a founding member of the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC), established to increase the effectiveness of animal disaster response in the United States.
We specialize in setting up and operating temporary shelters when large numbers of animals are affected by storms, fires, floods, or other emergencies or when they’re rescued from large-scale cruelty situations such as puppy mills and hoarding cases. We offer services free of charge.
