Volunteer Application

*** State of Florida solicitation file # CH-10677. Each contribution that is received by SHRF, Inc.
strictly goes towards care for and placement of our rescue dogs. ***

Siberian Husky Rescue of Florida is a statewide, all volunteer organization. No one gets paid for any of their volunteer work.

We also are NOT a shelter where we take in dogs and house them in a facility until they are adopted. WE HAVE NO FACILITY. Almost all our dogs are housed in foster homes belonging to our volunteers who also act as foster owners. On occasion, when we have no available foster homes, we will pay to have dogs boarded at various private kennel facilities around the state but that is an expensive proposition and useable only for very temporary housing.

Bear in mind that when you volunteer to help us save Huskies you are volunteering for various types of actual work, not occasionally showing up at a shelter to train, play with or walk dogs.

Any applicant that is under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or guardian complete a separate volunteer application form with the understanding that they will be present at all events the applicant attends until the applicant reaches 18 years of age. For applicants between the ages of 18 and not having reached their 21st birthday, volunteer opportunities are limited. We prefer volunteers to be at least 21 years old.

SHRF Inc. is an 'all volunteer' organization. Due to varying factors, operational areas of our organization change frequently, dependent on where we have active volunteers at the time an application is submitted. If you are currently outside of an area where we have an active volunteer to aid you with volunteering, adopting or fostering, one of our application coordinators will discuss this with you after receiving your application . Thank you for your patience.

If you understand and agree to the above please continue below and fill out the form.
