Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland is always looking for volunteers to help us continue our mission.

Want to join us? Here are the types of volunteers that we have.

01

Foster Homes

This (along with donations) is our biggest and steadiest need! There are more beagles on borrowed time in shelters than BRSM (and all the other regional rescues) can save. Loving foster homes are absolutely crucial to the rescue process. If you're interested in fostering a beagle, please see our Fostering page.

03

Transporters

Transporters move dogs from one place to another for various reasons. At Adoption Events, they pick up dogs from their foster home and transport them to the PetSmart, PETCO, or other event, and then return them to the foster home when the event is over. A reliable vehicle is all that is needed; the foster furnishes the halters, leads, and crates. Other transports include picking up a dog at an agreed-upon location and transporting it to a foster or designated vet.

02

Homecheckers

These volunteers check to make sure homes and yards are safe for all potential adopters before an adopter is allowed to take a BRSM beagle home. We especially need people to do home checks in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area, and throughout MD, VA, WV, PA, DE, NJ, and NY.

04

Handlers

At Adoption Events, our transporters pick up more dogs from the fosters than they can show by themselves. These transporters are met at the PETCO, PetSmart, or other Adoption Event site by handlers, who then take a dog for the day, giving it individual attention and answering questions from visitors and potential adopters. After the adoption event, the transporter returns the dog to the foster.
