Junior Rescue Program

 
 

Our Junior Rescue program is built to involve kids and teens in our mission of rescuing dogs and cats from Mississippi, Alabama, and locally.

Our Junior Rescue opportunities are split by grade school, offering multiple ideas to get involved in fun and creative ways, while also learning about Rescue in the process.

Since we are a non-profit organization, we rely solely on donations. Once children reach their goal of fundraising or donations through bake sales, lemonade stands, or any other fun ideas, they can come celebrate with us at our facility in Groveland, Mass!

We even offer community service opportunities for our older Junior Rescuers (Ages 14-18), allowing them to complete their hours in person, alongside a parent.

Elementary School

Under 11 years old

Middle School

Approximately 11-14 years old

High School

More Details:

Our goal is for our Junior Rescuers to understand the benefits of rescue and allow them the opportunity to see rescue efforts in person. By hitting the $1,000 fundraising goal, the child is offered an opportunity to bring themselves and friends to our facility in Groveland, Mass. for a party/gathering.
