Volunteer

GPPR was incorporated in the state of Georgia on April 4th, 2022. We received our 501(c)(3) designation on June 9th, 2023. Our efforts are “ground up”, meaning that we are actively building out the infrastructure and capacity for our organization. We invite you to take an active role in the organization’s development and growth by linking arms with us and serving as a volunteer. Every person has unique insights, abilities, and skills that they bring to the table. There is no specific skillset required – that can and will be trained. All we require of our volunteers is that they are at least 18 years of age and have the desire to contribute to the greater good of the pug breed. If that is you, we have opportunities to be as involved as your schedule permits.

Volunteer roles and a succinct description are provided below:

  • Coordinators – organize a specific team of volunteers within GPPR operation; co-conduct tasks with the assistance of that team.
  • Team-Specific Volunteers – work with the coordinator and others who have volunteered to assist with the specific team(s) within GPPR operation(s) you have chosen. Please note that volunteers may assist with more than one team.
