Hello and THANK YOU for taking the step to find out more about becoming a Valhalla Rescue volunteer, or Valkyrie, as we call ourselves. Here at Valhalla we try to find the best opportunity that fits your lifestyle with the need we have here at the rescue. Opening your home to a rescue is one avenue which helps us to match our animals with their FURever homes, fostering one of our animals, helping to do transport to and from different appointments and events, helping provide home welfare checks and follow up visits, helping at events by manning our booth, helping to provide manpower with our Food Bank, or even spending some time on the ranch helping with the rescues. Every time you help spread the word about who we are, or what we do is one more step in helping rescue those animals in need. to even just helping to spread the word about who we are and what we do.We really appreciate your initiation to volunteer, our rescue would be unable to do what we do without people like you who are willing to step forward to help.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A VALKYRIE
Each year tens of thousands of dogs die in shelters, or abandoned in a myriad of ways and places while waiting for permanent homes. Sadly many people still view companion animals as disposable. Valhalla Rescue provides an alternative to death row, a life languishing on a chain or to those just left outdoors, ignored and in the different weather elements. We are dedicated to finding forever homes for these pets to ensure they are never left to end up unwanted again.
Valhalla Rescue was formed over 25 years ago by Patti and her family with other animal lovers whose careers brought them face to face with the tragic reality of what the lives of some companion animals had been left to endure. Today, Valhalla Rescue includes ”the ranch”, a network of foster homes, medical experts and other volunteers experienced in animal behavior who help to ensure our rescues can find a match with their forever homes.
We offer education in animal care, handling and basic training techniques with the goal of creating canine good citizens and ambassadors to the wonders of rescues. We are establishing an animal disaster preparedness program to save lives in times of upheaval. We have resources for low cost spay/neutering, updating vaccinations, and soon low cost microchip clinics for this who are in need with help for their pets. Low cost microchip clinics are used to ensure ativan online helps those who have their beloved pets missing, can hopefully be relocated with their loved ones. Valhalla Rescue is also opening a sanctuary in Central Washington for animals that require long term foster or the use of a forever sanctuary.
We cannot and will not take any animal that poses a danger to people or has a history of killing other animals. Most of our rescues are confused about what is happening in their lives and need people who know how to handle a dog that is going through a major life change. Some will need basic training and many of them are already wonderful family pets that are just falling through the cracks. A large number of our dogs have medical or genetic disabilities and may require additional time in rescue. We offer training on all our medical needs dogs to those willing to learn and capable of handling serious issues as they arise. If you foster, we will always make sure that you are comfortable with your foster and at any time remove a foster that does not fit in your home as soon as possible.
If you think we’re a group that you would be proud to be a part of, we would love to find out more about you and what you hope to offer a pet in need. Below you will find our Volunteer Application for you to fill out to start the process. It can be easily completed via the form below and it will be emailed to all appropriate parties. If you are having difficulties please contact us in order to assist you or send it in another format.
Remember, you DON’T have to be an expert, just a confident animal lover willing to make a difference one pet at a time. In rescue you CAN be a hero and save a life every day with just a kind word and time to show you care.
Thank you again for your inquiry.

Sincerely,
Patti Angeliz
