Lost Dog of Wisconsin volunteers are the heart and backbone of our organization and provide a wide variety of tasks. Volunteers can commit to working at one position or help out with more than one depending on their schedule and time commitment. Training is provided and is required. Since our main method of communication is Facebook, volunteers must have a personal Facebook account and be prepared to participate in online training and communication with the team. If you are interested in more information about volunteering, please complete our volunteer application.
