Register: RedRover Responders Online Volunteer Training
Our specially trained RedRover Responders volunteers shelter and care for displaced animals
The RedRover Responders volunteer corps are the backbone of our efforts to provide lifesaving care and temporary sheltering for animal victims of natural disasters, puppy mills, hoarding and other cases of cruelty and neglect, as well as community cat populations in need of trap-neuter-release services. We also support pets of domestic violence survivors by building pet housing spaces at domestic violence and animal shelters to keep families together during crisis.
