Whatever your interest, Homeward Bound goldens can benefit from your help! Below are some of the ways you can get involved! 

• Volunteering
  Want to make a big difference in the lives of homeless goldens? There are lots of rewarding and fun opportunities to volunteer with Homeward Bound. No matter what your skills and interests, we have a volunteer opportunity to match. You can get involved a little or a lot! Please contact our team leaders for whatever areas interest you. Want to get involved, but don't see anything that specifically sparks your interest? Just contact us at volunteering@homewardboundgoldens.org and a volunteer will get in touch with you to talk about other volunteer opportunities and discuss interests and ideas you have! Children must be at least 13 years old to volunteer.
  
  
• Golden Taxi Team
  The Golden Taxi Team is a dedicated group of volunteers who transport dogs as the need arises. Whether the need is for a dog to be transported from a shelter, from a surrendering owner, to the vet or to its forever home, the Golden Taxi gets the job done. Whether you're interested in doing long-distance transports or just those around town, the Golden Taxi Team is a way to make big contribution in the life of a rescued golden. If you're interested in helping out, please contact our Golden Taxi coordinator at goldentaxi@homewardboundgoldens.org.
  
  
• Placement Team
  Meet with interested adopters in your community and help match a golden with their new family! For more information about the Placement Team, please contact Lynn Pihera at homevisits@homewardboundgoldens.org
  
  
• Events
  In addition to our rescue and adoption efforts, Homeward Bound is involved in the community. We participate in a variety of events each year - gift wrapping during the holidays at various Borders Books locations, marching in the Sacramento Santa Parade, participating in the dog day event at the UC Davis Picnic, Doggie Dash, and more. We want to let people know about the hundreds of goldens who are rescued each year and about the many more who need rescuing.  We want to educate the community about rescue and be a resource where we are needed. If you know of an event that Homeward Bound might participate in, please contact Jana Mauk, our Events Coordinator, with the details. In addition, since we are non-profit and exist on donations, we are always in search of fundraising opportunities. If you know of a fundraising opportunity for Homeward Bound, please let Jana know!  Jana can be reached at events@homewardboundgoldens.org.
  
  
• Donate A Car
  Donate a vehicle to Donate Local, Northern California's Leading Donation Center, and Homeward Bound will benefit from your donation. They make it simple and hassle-free to donate a car. Your vehicle donation helps Homeward Bound to help all of the goldens who cross our path.
