Get Involved

Lend a Hand, Save a Life

There are many ways to help at-risk animals through Rising Sun Animal Rescue. Whether you volunteer, fundraise, or support our programs in other ways, your involvement makes a real difference.

Volunteer Opportunities

Rising Sun relies on compassionate community members to help bring our mission to life. Volunteers assist with:

  • Transport Support: Help safely move animals to foster homes or vet appointments.

  • Events & Fundraising: Support events, donation drives, and community outreach.

  • Administrative Support: Assist with social media, communications, and organization tasks.

  • Other Programs: Help with supplies, fostering support, or special projects as opportunities arise.

Time and Commitment

  • Volunteering is flexible — we have opportunities for one-time events, short-term projects, or ongoing support.

  • All volunteers receive guidance and training for their specific role.

  • Every hour you give helps animals move closer to safe, loving homes.
