Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue
VOLUNTEER APPLICATION
Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue (GCCR) is a not for profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of our breed and is run strictly from donations received from the public. No person is ever paid for his/her efforts expended as part of the GCCR.
GCCR operates 100% by volunteer effort. Only through the commitment of people like yourself can GCCR save the lives of needy Cavaliers. There are many different types of volunteer activities. GCCR looks to match your volunteer interests and skills with needs of the organization.
You will be contacted by the Volunteer Coordinator within the next week.
Thank you for applying to volunteer!
