Join TAP-Chicago to lend a helping hand/paw to man’s best friends as we walk dogs from the Chicago Canine Rescue! The shelter is a 5 minute walk from the Forest Glen Woods preserve, so this is a great opportunity to get exercise and fresh air while giving back to the community.
Chicago Canine Rescue was founded in 2001 to help find permanent homes for dogs considered too young, old, ill, or have special needs that would otherwise be euthanized at local shelters. There are currently 80 or so dogs at the Rescue that would love to your attention and care!
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and must bring photo ID
2. You will be asked to fill out a volunteer waiver form
3. All volunteers MUST arrive on time at 2:00pm for mandatory orientation and dog handling instructions
COST:
1. Free, but we ask that you reserve a free ticket so we know if we have the right number of volunteers to help our four-legged friends:
