Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Get Involved! Volunteer and Foster!

Interested in helping support RMCR?

RMCR is part of the national movement for No More Homeless Pets and the creation of No-Kill Communities. It is an exciting time in our nation as people rally to help the animals. As a fellow animal lover, we would love to have you join us.

We are an active animal rescue headquartered in Colorado that is growing and expanding our network, so we are always in need of volunteers. If you think you would like to provide a safe and nurturing foster home for our Cocker Spaniels as they wait for their forever home, please complete and submit an application (available below) and one of our board members will contact you for an interview. Since all of our Cocker Spaniels are in foster homes (we do not have a kennel or shelter facility), we are limited in the number of lives we save by the number of foster homes! If you are a foster home, we will provide the dog’s collar, leash and food (since we want them on a wheat-free kibble). We will pay for grooming and veterinary care IF the dog is taken to one of the businesses with which we have negotiated a discount and set up an account. We will provide you with a list of those businesses who have accounts with us.

In addition to qualified foster homes, we need volunteers who can help with:

  • Transportation
  • Home Checks
  • Application Processing
  • Event Coordination
  • Fund raising
  • Behavior Assessment
  • Public Relations
  • Grant Writing
  • Photography/Videography
  • Volunteer Recruitment
  • Writing & Editing
  • Database Management

There is never a shortage of work to do or Cocker Spaniels to rescue, and there are even more opportunities than listed above. If you would like to contribute in any way, if you have a little or a lot of time that you could donate to Cocker Spaniels in need in Colorado, please complete and submit our volunteer or foster application.

Volunteer and Foster Forms

The easiest way to submit a volunteer or foster application is to use one of our online forms below.  Please consider using this option!  The information is deposited in a database that is accessible to multiple people within our organization.

Or, you may use one of the following methods.  The application forms below contain both the Volunteer and Foster applications in a single form.

The rewards of volunteering are so satisfying when you can place a previously abandoned dog into a new loving home!

Although RMCR is an organization founded to help animals in need, it also affects human lives in many different ways. For more information, visit our Human Health and Welfare page.
