Volunteer Opportunities / Orientation Schedule Change
As summer marches on, we are busily creating an interest list for future volunteer training sessions. Due to the popularity of our volunteer program and the rewards it brings to all, our currently scheduled training sessions are competely full.
Please email Jordi at jordibradshaw@yahoo.com to get your name on our interest list. She will be in touch as soon as new sessions are scheduled.
Meanwhile please have a look at the volunteer information on this page, and do some of our recommended reading. This will get you in good shape for your time with the dogs, puppies, and people of B&B.
Thanks for your interest in volunteering to help the dogs. They really appreciate it--we can tell by all the tail wagging around here!
**Please note: This means that there will be no volunteer orientation this Sunday, August 2nd.**
Thanks for your support!
Together, we'll figure out the best way for you to participate in the joy that is Beagles & Buddies... and there's a multitude of fun going on that you won't want to miss! There are a wide variety of very necessary chores, many "hands-on" doggie tasks: brushing, bathing, walking, socializing and just being with some of the newcomers. Get your application in so we can set up your interview (click here to download).
Interested folks can email Jordie for more info.
Some of our dogs are looking for Special Friends – friends who will help them get adopted!
We are looking for volunteers who are willing to work one-on-one with a dog who could use a little "coaching" to help them get adopted. If you are interested, you must have come to B&B as a regular volunteer at least 3 times before you can join this program.
B&B is a no-kill shelter. That means that sometimes a dog can be at B&B for years before the right person comes along to adopt it. The Special Friends program is all about helping these dogs find that special person a little sooner. To learn more about becoming a Special Friend to a dog in need click here...
Beagles & Buddies
is proud to have rescued & placed hundreds of dogs in new homes. 2001 saw
over a thousand & another 500 so far for this year. As a volunteer you can
do many things to help us continue rescuing dogs. We get phone calls from shelters
all over Southern California that have dogs needing rescue & many times
we don't have anyone to go pick that dogs up. We also need help transporting
sick animals from our kennel to our vet. Of course adoptions days are extremely
work intensive.
Volunteering to
lend a hand at the kennel would be a special blessing. Willing to help? Tell
us your talents & we'll put you to work. Visit us & volunteer any amount
of time you have available and are willing to share. These doggies have needs
as simple as playing & socializing with people & also need bathing grooming
& exercise.
We know this work
can be a tugger on emotions, but one look in the eyes of a poor homeless dog
now happily catching ball or on its way to a new safe loving home makes it all
worthwhile.
These specific
dogs are safe, we have committed to care for them & that's that. Our vet
bills are enormous & since we keep feeding these little guys, our collection
of do-do piles never ends & we are always scooping & washing.
See our list of volunteer jobs!
Please help us
adopt these woofers into real homes & open up more kennel space to accept
those others we are now forced to turn away. Little dumplings who are every
bit as sweet & deserving as these guys you see here.

More Ways to Help
Adopt one of our dogs, or encourage friends to consider adopting a homeless
dog instead of purchasing a dog or puppy.
Foster:
Become a temporary foster parent to a dog. We are limited in the number of dogs
we can house on our property so foster homes reduce the number of dogs we have
to turn away when the kennel is overcrowded.
You can make a
donation too! This year alone more than 600 dogs were saved because of the continued
support of so many of our friends. Every gift you send means so much because
it enables us to continue helping innocent doggies who deserve a second chance.
BIG HOWLING THANKS TO BROWNIE TROOP 517!
This troop of 2nd graders from Palos Verdes made it their goal to collect a huge amount of blankets and towels to help keep the beagles and buddies warm this winter. Many thanks to these young ladies for their hard work!
