Get Involved

Find your place
in the pack.

Furry Freight relies on a team of amazing volunteers to keep our programs moving. No matter your skills or schedule, there is something here for you.

Every animal saved, every transport completed, every surgery funded happens because people in our community decide to give their time. Whether you drive across state lines or clean crates between trips, every role is essential.

Open Roles

Where do you fit?

Every role below is open year-round. Some involve a few extra onboarding steps — we'll walk you through everything.

On The Road

Transport Driver

Our most critical need. Drivers take multi-day road trips moving animals from overcrowded shelters to our Pacific Northwest partners. Trips typically run 1-2 days, and involve driving long hours, including at night. You will be paired with another volunteer and provided with everything you need — vehicle, fuel, lodging, and transport supplies are covered.
