Choose how you want to help

One-time, short-term, and ongoing opportunities are all valuable.

Local transport support

Help with scheduled local rides to veterinary appointments, foster homes, and other nearby care needs. Rising Sun coordinates longer paid transports separately.

Best for reliable local drivers who can help with occasional scheduled trips.

Events & fundraising

Support community events, donation drives, outreach, and fundraising activities.

Great for friendly organizers and community connectors.

Behind the scenes

Contribute to administration, social media, communications, supplies, foster support, or special projects.

Ideal for sharing professional or practical skills.

Flexible by design

Start where your time and talents fit.

We provide the guidance and training needed for each role. You do not need rescue experience to make a useful contribution.
