Interested in Volunteering?
Volunteers are the heartbeat of the CCRT. We simply couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful volunteers. We could use your help!
Below are just some of the ways you can volunteer your time to help the CCRT:
- Process new volunteer and adoption applications.
- Help with personal references checks and veterinary reference checks.
- Home visits following the guidelines we provide for you.
- Fostering a rescue Chi until a new home can be found. If you are interested, please complete our Foster Home Application.
- Help transport rescue Ch’s to new homes from shelters or convoys. Bring rescue dogs to their foster home or help foster homes that do not have a vehicle by taking the dog to vet appointments, etc
- Assist with fundraising. That could include; helping at local events, hosting your own fundraiser, or using your unique talent or skill to support the animals; photography, crafts, knitting, etc…
- Assist us with our social media and website.
- Establish good working relationships with local animal shelters, humane societies or other animal agencies in your area. This will help ensure they will know who to contact locally if they have a Chihuahua in need of our help.
- Establish relationships with local veterinarians, groomers, trainers, and other dog-minded people so that once again, they’ll call you when they learn of a Chi needing rescue. Should you be made aware of any Chi or Chi-x in need, whether it is a surrender by a private party or one in a shelter, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Committee immediately for further advice and instructions.
- Help support a new adoptive home by counselling them with any issues they may come across, and offer to do a post-placement check-in. etc. …..and more.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please fill out our convenient online Foster or Volunteer Application form.

Once you are approved as a volunteer, you will be subscribed to our CCRT dedicated email volunteer list. You will also receive, by email, a detailed welcome package containing all the CCRT information you need.
