Please carefully read through all of the opportunities before filling out the online application.
If you would like to voluneer and assist with any of the following needs, then fill out our online volunteer application by clicking HERE!
Shelter Workers***** (Very Important – needed immediately!)
We need people to work from 10 till 1:30 and 1:30 till 5 every day except Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we need someone from 10 till 12. Sunday we will be closed.
Foster Parents
Foster parents are very important. Taking home and caring for an animal frees up space for other animals to be rescued.
It also is very important for animals that are very small, ill, or fragile and just need to be cared for in a home.
Ladies Tea and Biscuit Society
This group needs a leader and volunteers. They will meet monthly and the function of this group is to put on benefit events to raise the money for projects at the land. This group will function much as a Ladies Auxiliary functions for other groups or institutions. We think this will be fun opportunity and one which will take a large workload off the volunteers who are working directly with the day to day functions of our group.
Committees:
Fundraising committee
It cannot stressed enough how important this committee is. All of our funds come either from private or corporate donations or from fundraising. The funds from this committee pay our vet bills, expenses, phone bill, etc. Without this committee, we could not function as a rescue group.
This committee plans and carries out events. We need people who are creative and/or who are just simply very hard working people.
Land/Facilities Committee
This committee deals with planning the future development of our farm. They are working with land use, the kinds of buildings we need to build and the schedule for building. They are also concerned with the maintenance of our current facilities.
Adoption committee
The adoption committee works on medical policy, does home visits, checks adoption applications, keeps records, and does other activities related to the animals and their adoptions.
Medical committee
We need a medical committee to formulate medical policy, make decisions on the health of animals, and do other things relating to medical care.
Walk Committee
This committee plans and carries out the Walk and Wag in Ritter Park each year. (We have this event in conjunction with Help for Animals.)
Public Relations Committee
This committee deals with creating the newsletter, brochures, flyers, etc. We need creative people with good design or writing skills to contribute to this committee. The website is also an important way to present our “face” to the public and requires several people. Other duties include writing press releases, contacting news stations, etc.
Capital Campaign and Grant Committee
This committee deals with development and grant writing.
Membership committee.
Social committee.

Volunteer Coordinator****** (Very important – needed immediately!)
We need one or two people to co-chair the committee on volunteers. This would involve training, keeping a database, working with people, etc. This is a very important position and is needed immediately!
Event/Program Coordinator
This person would organize or oversee a single event such as a dinner or an ongoing function such as the bingo games every three months, or the Elder Beerman and Macy’s events which occur twice a year. It could also be an educational event, an adoption, etc.
Assistant Event/Program Coordinator
Phone Representative
This person would be responsible for answering phone messages within a designated 24 hour time frame. The volunteer would also keep accurate records of the calls and follow up as necessary. This could be done in the person’s home.
Work Day Volunteers
Work days are designated days when volunteer come to the land to work on cleaning kennels, mowing, painting, and other duties necessary to maintain our land and buildings.
Should you wish to volunteer extra days, we always need help feeding the dogs, pooper-scooping, and doing other duties to maintain the kennel area.
Drivers
We need drivers for several types of tasks:
- To take animals to the vet or groomer, pick up material, and run errands.
- To haul materials and rummage, and to pick up donations.
- Transporting animals longer distances to/from other rescues in different states. (Eash person drives one leg of this journey)
Socializing the Animals
People are needed all the time to work with the animals—socializing the puppies; teaching dogs to walk on leash; helping shy dogs overcome their shyness; and generally providing companionship for the animals.
Liasons
If you have belonged to a group, a club, a school, business, etc., with which Little Victories would like to establish ties, perhaps you could be a liason and help to facilitate this. Because you know about that group, you know who to speak with and you know if they would be interested in doing a project with us, helping to fundraise, etc.
Jobs
Many times we just need people to call on for help. We never know when we will need people to attend an adoption, help on a job, or just to be there in an emergency.
Thrift Store ***** (Very Important – needed immediately)
Little Victories is opening a Thrift Store. We need people to pick up rummage, price it and/or clean it, and we also need people to work in the store on Tuesdays in shifts from 10 till 5.
Maintaining Data Bases
We need people to maintain data bases for different functions. You can do this from your home!
Miscellaneous
We have many other jobs such as helping to take photos, doing table sitting, cleaning, etc. Please help!
