Volunteer Application

INKY Rottweiler Rescue is always searching for qualified, caring people to assist with our rescue efforts. Each volunteer is an individual and brings unique abilities with them. Some of our most pressing needs are:

1. FOSTER HOMES: INKYRR does our best to cover Indiana and Kentucky but we are operating at a maximum of 3 foster homes at this time. We DESPERATELY need caring individuals willing to give their time, training, and care to the rescued Rottweilers in our foster care program until they can find their permanent homes.

We do require that you spend time learning and utilizing the evaluation process for placement into a new home that all of our Rottweilers MUST pass.

2. General Volunteers: This can be anything from returning phone calls from adopters, contacting references, and helping with our fundraising efforts.

Code of Ethics

If volunteering for our rescue interests you, please read through our "Code of Ethics". This code is to be followed by all volunteers for our rescue:

Members shall abide by and uphold the principles of the Constitution and By-laws of the INKY Rottweiler Rescue (INKY/RR) when engaged in the normal course of caring for, rescuing, evaluating,transporting, training and/or rehabilitating rescued Rottweiler's.

Members shall not knowingly attempt to rescue or represent a dog of mixed heritage as a purebred Rottweiler. Members evaluating Rottweiler will attempt, to the best of their abilities to rescue only those dogs who appear to be purebred Rottweiler's. A member rescuing, rehousing, or representing a dog of obvious mixed heritage, without prior approval of the governing members of INKY/RR, will automatically forfeit membership.

Members shall strive to gain respect for their participation and that of their fellow members on the foregoing activities and make the best possible contribution to the improvement of the quality, temperament, health and welfare of Rottweiler's at all levels.

Members shall not engage in the breeding, buying or selling of dogs that are not purebred, either as principal, agent, intermediary or otherwise. A member becoming engaged in any of these practices shall automatically forfeit membership. Any member wishing to breed must provide proof to the governing members of INKY/RR that the dog is titled under the AKC, having earned a Championship in the breed ring and the minimum of CD in the obedience ring.

Members shall keep all dogs under their care in clean, healthy environments and provide timely prompt health protection for them (ie. worming, inocculating and necessary veterinary care).
