Help save lives from the comfort of your home
You can become a lifesaving volunteer for Best Friends, or you can be a Best Friends Network Partner volunteer from anywhere!
Don’t live near a Best Friends location? Our remote opportunities make it possible for you (without ever leaving your community) to be a part of a lifesaving team working to save dogs and cats.
Volunteer right where you are
Remote volunteers can help by finding homes for adoptable pets, managing social media, and giving foster pets a safe place to stay.
If you're not sure which opportunity would be the best fit for you, email bfvolweb@bestfriends.org and someone from the team will contact you.

Our remote volunteers and their stories
Working from home, our dedicated remote volunteers are helping to save the lives of our nation’s dogs and cats, while also taking part in a fulfilling and rewarding life experience.
One of the best parts about virtual volunteering is I feel like there’s some continuity between what I was doing in Boston and now London. I can still be involved in similar things and be a part of one of the same communities, even though the community I live in has changed.

It’s so incredibly rewarding to help not only that one animal or litter, but then open space up for our shelters to take in more. As I’ve learned over the years, we need them as much as they need us.

Fostering and volunteering are very important to me. It's the most fulfilling part of my life because I get to see the impact I'm having. Thinking about the pet overpopulation problem is heartbreaking, and although the impact I'm having is relatively small, I am helping.
