Retriever Rescue of Colorado

Rescue Agent in Transportation

If you have ever watched animal planet and wanted to be just like those stars, now is your chance! Join our team as a Rescue Agent!

One of the most urgent and common needs within rescue organizations is the quest for volunteers interested in rescue agent transportation. Some of our dogs have small time windows and many may not get another chance if transportation for them cannot be arranged. While we have saved over 200 dogs to date, we receive hundreds of emails a day requesting our intake of more dogs.

As a result, Rescue Agents in transportation are desperately needed and is truly one of the most rewarding experiences we have to offer. By committing to even one RA transport, you have added your name to a list of our heroes who start the engine to the entire rescue process.

Our RA efforts can vary from 30 minute trips to more than 3 hour trips. Many of our transports come in as emergency requests and as a result are not typically available to schedule weeks in advance. By assisting in RROC transport you are the first member to meet our clients and ultimately their "first line of rescue".

In the event that you are interested in this hands-on effort to save a dog (or dogs) life, you will immediately be placed on a list of possible RA transporters. RROC realizes that many of our volunteers who specialize in transport possess family, and work committments. However, if one of our transports suits your schedule RROC can only benefit from your help. If you are interested in becoming a "rescue agent" for our team, please let us know when you fill out our volunteer application. Are you RROC's next hero?
