We reserve the right to refuse or supply a service or dogue to anyone.

To volunteer for DDBSA Rescue, you must be at least 21 years old

As a volunteer of Dogue de Bordeaux Society of America Rescue, Inc., (DDBSA Rescue), I give my pledge and promise to abide by the policies of this organization (including, but not limited to, the Standard Operating Procedures, and By-Laws) and to conduct myself in a professional, courteous and ethical manner at all times to other members of the organization as well as in any capacity where I associate myself with DDBSA Rescue. If I am involved in rescue activities that involve dogues de bordeaux in any way, I will immediately advise the DDBSA Rescue Board of Directors as to the nature of my involvement to assure compliance with DDBSA Rescue Policies and Procedures as well as to assure there is not a conflict of interest.  I will promote the ethical treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership according to the guidelines within the policies of DDBSA Rescue.  I understand I will receive descriptions of duties appropriate to the tasks I am volunteering for and agree to follow those guidelines at all times. I also understand that I will undergo the same investigation that is required of any adoptive applicant when they have requested to adopt one of DDBSA Rescue rescued dogues. After my application to volunteer has been approved, I will maintain regular contact with the DDBSA Rescue Board of Directors and work under the direction of any mentor or committee chairperson to which I am assigned. By completing this form, I understand that my volunteer ship may be revoked at any time if I am found to have reneged on this pledge in any way.  I agree to perform all assigned duties and turn in all paperwork in a timely manner and will maintain appropriate records as needed.

To become an DDBSA Rescue Volunteer, we will complete your reference checks as well as a Home Visit just like our adoption applicants before we “approve” you for volunteering/fostering. This will help familiarize you with the process so you may share it with potential adoptive families, and will also “pre-approve” you in case you ever decide to adopt a rescue as well! *

You will be notified by email once you are an approved member and will be added to the DDBSA Rescue Volunteer Yahoo group email list. Please note: our approval process can take between 2-4 weeks or more. If you have any questions at any time about the status of your application, please email info@ddbsarescue.org
