Be a Hero

Thank you for your interest in becoming a vital part of the Herzog's Heroes mission. Our volunteers are the engine behind our movement to raise the breeding standard and reduce the number of dogs entering shelters. No matter your background, experience, or schedule, there's a role here for you.

Why Volunteer With Us?

Impact That Matters:
Every task — whether it’s outreach, research, admin, or advocacy — contributes directly to our mission of preventing tens of thousands of dogs from ever entering shelters every year. You’re not just helping dogs — you’re shaping the future of canine welfare.

Real Roles, Real Change:
We offer meaningful opportunities for creatives, organizers, educators, researchers, and connectors. Whether you love writing, event planning, policy, or social media, there’s a place for you to plug in and make an impact.

Grow While You Give Back:
Sharpen your skills, gain hands-on nonprofit experience, and build your personal and professional network — all while helping create nationwide change in how dogs are bred, raised, and supported.

A Community That Cares:
Join a grassroots movement fueled by passionate, like-minded people who believe that the status quo isn’t good enough. Together, we’re building something that’s never existed before — and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
