Volunteer With Us – Be a Lifeline for Animals
Every rescued animal has a story — and every story needs a hero. As a volunteer with CJ Rescue, you become that hero. Whether you're walking dogs, socializing shy cats, helping at events, or assisting behind the scenes, your time and compassion make a real, lasting impact.
You don’t need special skills — just a love for animals and a willingness to help. We offer a variety of volunteer roles to match your interests, schedule, and experience level. From hands-on animal care to photography, transport, administrative support, and more — there’s a place for everyone on our team.

Fostering is one of the most powerful ways you can help save lives. When you foster an animal from CJ Rescue, you're giving them more than just a place to stay — you're giving them hope, healing, and a chance at a brighter future.
Many of our pets come from challenging situations and need time to adjust, recover, or simply grow strong enough to be adopted. As a foster, you provide a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s a few days, a few weeks, or longer — your compassion makes all the difference.
We supply all the essentials — supplies and medical care. You supply the food, love, patience, and kindness.
As a small rescue, we as that our foster parents provide food, water, and if you choose too treats as we focus on making sure our rescues have medical care and the supplies they need to thrive!
Why foster?
Save lives without a long-term commitment
Help prepare animals for their forever homes
Experience the joy of making a direct, life-changing impact
