Current Opportunities

At Every Last One Rescue, our dogs rely on a village to get where they need to go - from shelter partners to foster homes, vet appointments, training sessions, and adoption events. Volunteer Dog Transport Drivers make our foster-based rescue possible by helping dogs safely move through each step of their journey.

This role is ideal for dog-loving humans in or near NYC who have access to a car, flexible availability, and want to make a direct, hands-on impact with just a few hours of their time.

Impact: Sometimes a single car ride is the difference between a dog staying stuck or starting their next chapter.

• Draft compelling narratives and supporting materials as required
