Events and Puppy Parties

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. Since our start in 2009, we have rescued over 32,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization provides safe shelter, proper veterinary care and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them find or sustain a bond with humans.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.

We would love your help at events which take place in various locations in the Twin Cities!  

As an Event Volunteer, you attend community events on behalf of The BB and support in whatever way is needed. You may sell items, answer questions, or oversee a kissing booth with some pups! These events include 5K races, craft fairs or other local events to help raise money for the rescue. 

As a Puppy Party Volunteer, you attend different events and help guests cuddle puppies. Duties include animal clean up, set up and take down for party, and transporting supplies and/or puppies. Puppy Parties last 90 minutes, so a 2 – 3 hour time commitment is expected including driving. 

Please note that you must be 16 years or older to volunteer at puppy parties. Our policy has recently changed, and we appreciate your understanding. If you need any accommodations, please contact the Program Manager or Volunteer Manager.
