Howdy all. Sorry for the general thread. Just wanted to know where are some good places I can volunteer? I ask b/c it doesn't look like my new job will allow me to have a dog of my own. :(

thanks!

OK, but first you have to check with Tammy (Gunnergirl) here. She runs her rescue in Magnolia? and is near Houston. So email her first, then the others. :D These are all the Houston, TX shelters/rescues listed on Petfinder.com:

Overachiever! thanks!

LOL, on Petfinder, it lists the state's entire shelter/rescues info, so all I had to do was copy, & paste. :) Gives you somewhere to start, eh? But, seriously, PM Gunnergirl, she is great and I know they need some help.....Just my 2 cents. Please let us know how it goes.

sorry for not replying sooner.

Would you be interested in fostering by any chance?? I'm assuming that w/ your job you will be traveling which is why you can't adopt at this point...but if you fostered temporarily, we could move the dog/pup each time you go out of town (or whatever the case may be!). STLRR covers all medical costs, you would just provide food and a loving home. :)

We also have several events in October that we will be at/having and would love any assistance w/.

:)

Thanks for the reply! Just let me know what I can do to get involved.
