    Volunteer

    We need your help!

    The Comeback Pack is entirely volunteer-run — we couldn't save dogs without people like you.

    Ways to Volunteer

    There's a role for every schedule and skill set. When you apply, you'll tell us which of these you're interested in — pick as many as you like.

    Fostering

    Open your home temporarily to a dog waiting for their forever family.

    Dog Walking

    Give dogs in foster care the exercise and one-on-one attention they need.

    Transporting Dogs

    Drive dogs to vet appointments, adoption events, or foster homes.

    Special Events

    Help staff adoption events, fundraisers, and community outreach.

    Fundraising

    Help raise the funds that cover vetting, food, and supplies for dogs in our care.

    Neighborhood Ambassador

    Share our adoptable dogs in the Nextdoor and Facebook groups you already belong to.

    Record-Keeping

    Help track medical records and volunteer or foster paperwork.

    Vetting Applicants

    Review foster and adoption applications and follow up on references.

    New volunteer role

    Neighborhood Ambassadors

    Can't foster or adopt, but still want to save lives? You can help right from your phone.

    • We send you the photos and write-ups — nothing to create yourself
    • Post when you have a few minutes. No quota, no schedule, no meetings
    • Every application, screening, and adoption is handled by us
    • Anywhere in Riverside County and the surrounding counties

    Interested? Fill out the volunteer application below and check “Neighborhood Ambassador (Networking dogs).”

    Doggy Day Out

    Give one of our dogs a break from boarding — a walk, a pup cup, or an afternoon on the couch.

    • We provide the dog, the ADOPT ME vest, and full guidance — you provide the adventure
    • No set schedule — outings can be a walk, a pup cup, or just a quiet afternoon at home
    • Every dog is approved for the program, and we're just a call away if anything comes up
    • Approved volunteers only — complete our volunteer application and sign a Liability Waiver first

    Want to take a dog out for the day? Check the Doggy Day Out Guide for the safety rules and outing ideas, then fill out the volunteer application below. Once you're approved, sign the Liability Waiver and you're ready for your first outing.
