CHARITIES

Top Dog Recruiting is an organization that believes in giving back to the community.  We have been instrumental in animal rescue efforts across the US.  Our team has volunteered during the hurricane Katrina rescue efforts, we have raised thousands of dollars, and done supply drives for the animal rescue efforts, and even reunited animals with their owners! We also have done a lot of rescue and support work before and since the hurricane Katrina disaster.  All of our recruiters have rescued and adopted animals and most of our recruiters and support team provide foster homes for animals that would otherwise be put down at shelters.  We work directly with a number of rescue organizations all over the country to help raise awareness, raise funds, and find fosters homes and forever homes for animals in need.

What can you do to help?

FOSTER A PET:  One of the largest needs rescue organizations have is the need for Foster Homes.  A foster home is a temporary, safe home for a pet in need.  This pet may be in danger of being put down at a shelter.  Many shelters euthanize when they get too crowded, rather than turning away animals.  Please keep this in mind if you ever have to give up an animal - look for a no kill rescue organization that will immediately put your pet into foster care. If you're not sure if an organization is a kill shelter, try to find facilities that do not even have shelters to ensure your pet is going to a foster home.  As a Foster, you will be responsible for having your foster pet live in your home with you. You will be responsible for feeding it, grooming it, making sure it's up to date with it's shots, and is spayed or neutered.  If you are fostering a dog, you will also be responsible for walking & exercising your foster.  Most foster organizations cover all medical costs and many have food donated to them that they can provide to you.  You also can usually get toys and bed for your foster pet from the rescue organization as well.  You will be responsible for some basic training if it's needed, and loving your foster pet. You will also be responsible for showing your foster pet to potential adopters.  It's a very rewarding experience.  Typically a foster will remain in the home with you anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months, depending on the pet, and your schedule to show the pet.   If you love animals but aren't able to adopt one as a full time regular pet, this is a great solution and you're saving lives!

DONATIONS:  All rescue organizations need money and items to operate.  Money most of all!  They need to buy supplies for the pets, pay rent/mortgages if they have a shelter, and most importantly, cover the cost of medications, surgeries, and vet care which is the most important part of rescue.  Your financial donations help immensely!  Just $10 can cover a cycle of antibiotics and save a dog or cat's life!

VOLUNTEER: Every organization needs volunteers.  Volunteers can help foster, show animals at events, organize fundraisers, help promote and market the animals, get involved in intake, process adoptions, doing home visits, screening potential adopters and fosters, update websites with pet's pictures, answer emails, help with transportation of animals to the vets, or to new adopters, or adoption events, and much much more!
