                                Steps to becoming a volunteer with MN Pit Bull Rescue 

 
**If you are interested in fostering, please fill out the foster application here not the volunteer application.** 

1. Fill out the volunteer application. The Volunteer Coordinator will reach out to notify you that your application has been received and we are processing references. 

2. Once references are complete, you will be asked to complete the online orientation. 

3. When the online orientation has been completed, you will be asked to attend an event so you can meet our volunteers and dogs and so we can meet you OR complete your face to face meeting by doing a live home check via facetime or duo. 

4. After you attend an event, follow up with the Volunteer Coordinator along with your video home check.

5. Next, the Volunteer Agreement will be sent to you. 

6. Once the Volunteer Agreement has been completed, you will be added to our private volunteer group on Facebook. This group is where you will find tasks that need to be completed or you can work off of the list below at your convenience.  You MUST COMPLETE ONE TASK PER QUARTER in order to stay active in the volunteer group. 

Please note* Facebook groups is our main form of communication with our volunteers.
