Make a difference today!! Below are some of volunteer opportunities. Please visit dogsdeservebetternrv.org for more information.
1. Get DDB brochures from your DDB Area Rep and put them out in your area, vets offices, restaurants, travel plazas or print our your own if you'd like by visiting http://dogsdeservebetternrv.org
2. Get laws passed.
3. Buy (very inexpensive!) and hang our 11x17 posters in your area. They will hold up well in the outdoors, in the rain and snow as they are high quality press run or print your own from our website.
4. Become a corporate sponsor.
5. Take a stand when you see dogs living chained or penned. Speak gently to the caretakers, sharing your convictions and information about Dogs Deserve Better and ways they can improve life for their companion. Print out this chained dog flyer or .pdf letter in which we request that they rethink their decision. (Please, do NOT put letters directly in mailboxes, it is a violation of US Postal Code. If the thought of face to face scares you, buy some doorhangers which you can hang on mailboxes or car or house doors. or contact your DDB Area Rep for doorhangers. You can also print them out and make your own, instructions on the doorhanger page. Also available, letter for penned dogs.
6. Fence a yard for a dog, get donated material, get others to help you put it in.
7. Get donations or negotiate a free billboard in your local area with our billboard designs.
8. Advocacy Group Leaders for each area of the NRV to be the eyes and ears of DDB.
Advocacy Group responsibilities:
- Recruit team members
- Hang posters
- Disperse brochures to local businesses
- Disperse and manage collection can at local businesses
- Hand out/mail 'You've Been Spotted' cards. These cards are to thank people who are seen being good dog owners and asking them to join our cause.
- Report to DDB of Giles, VA chained, penned, abused, neglected dogs
- ONLY IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE, hang door hangers
- Spearhead letter writing campaigns. We will soon be sending packets to our Board of Supervisors and local law enforcement asking to adopt a limited chaining/penning ordinance. After the packets go out, we would like for you to organize a letter writing/email/phone call campaign in your area asking they support such an ordinance. In addition, the VA DDB reps will be meeting this fall. We will be organizing our state campaign at this time.
- Gather support for attendance at any board meetings where the limited chaining ordinance is being discussed.
**We will provide all supplies and postage
We would LOVE to have advocacy groups in every county of the NRV.
