Make a Difference
Volunteer With IARN.
Our volunteers are the backbone of our rescue.
Idaho Animal Rescue Network is powered entirely by volunteers. From hands-on animal care to transport, events, and behind-the-scenes support, every helping hand keeps rescue moving.
You don’t need to be an animal expert or have endless free time. Give a few hours when you can, share your talents, or become part of our regular crew. There’s a place for you here.

Ways to Help.
There is no single way to volunteer with IARN. Some roles are hands-on with animals, some keep cases moving in the field, and others happen entirely behind the scenes.
Events & Community Outreach
Assist at adoption events, community events, fundraisers, educational tables, setup, cleanup, and public outreach.
Animal & Case Support
Help with animal handling, large-case logistics, supplies, documentation, field support, cleanup, and other case-specific needs.
Pet Pantry, Supplies & Organization
Sort donations, package pet food, stock pantries, organize storage, assemble crates, clean equipment, and keep supplies ready to go.
Behind-the-Scenes Support
Photography, social media, writing, spreadsheets, phones, data entry, auction baskets, emergency kits, and other admin projects all matter.
Doggie Dates & Enrichment
Take an approved dog on a walk or outing. One-on-one time provides enrichment, social exposure, and a welcome change of scenery.
YOUNG VOLUNTEERS
UNDER 18?
Some volunteer opportunities may be available for youth with appropriate adult supervision. Families, school groups, clubs, and community organizations can also reach out about age-appropriate ways to help.
