Volunteering with MAGDRL
MAGDRL is a large organization that is run entirely by volunteers. There are absolutely no paid positions within the group. Because we are so large, we can always use a helping hand. The list below shows some of the positions involved along with their responsibility. If you're interested and don't see the exact position you're looking for, contact us anyway - we can always find something you can do to help!

Here are some examples of ways Junior Helpers can assist our organization:
• School/Community project: For example, a collage of Danes Available For Adoption and their stories, posting flyers about upcoming events.
Fundraiser: For example, selling candy, putting out donation jars (ex. Pennies For Pups).

• Children in foster homes can participate in the MAGDRL Dane's care, only under the supervision of their parent or guardian.
All new volunteers, including fosters, must send their Volunteer application to one of the Volunteer Coordinators for evaluation to ensure all necessary liability forms are completed. The Volunteer Coordinator will handle the phone evaluation and home check (if fostering). Please contact one of the following for a copy of this form:
