Welcome to the Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog, Inc. volunteer survey. Our efforts are entirely volunteer; there are no paid staff positions – every minute of volunteer time is a tremendously valuable resource for our efforts. We’re thrilled you’re considering volunteering to “help protect the dogs who help protect you!”

Here’s a little background about the Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog:

Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog, Inc. is an independent, all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 organization, whose mission is to Support Massachusetts Police Dogs, by helping provide bullet/stab resistant  K9 vests, essential equipment, funding for training & dogs. We are building on 22 years of success; generous support from donors & tireless volunteer efforts have provided 620 bulletproof K-9 vests (including 160 specialized SWAT K-9 vests at $2500+ each), 390 K-9 First Aid Kits ($200 each), & $610,000 in grant funds, sponsorship and community partnership fundraising, for essential K-9 equipment: bite suits, bite sleeves, outdoor kennels, cruiser kennels, cruiser heat detector/alarm, & remote door popper systems, a narcotics safe, SWAT training equipment, scent-detection training equipment, and funding — for three K-9 training conferences.

Probably the most valuable volunteer opportunity is simply to be a MA Vest-a-Dog ambassador: tell your friends & family about our organization - be sure to say why you feel it’s so important! Share our MA Vest-a-Dog website, follow us on facebook…come to our events!

We welcome youth volunteers and recognize the need to staff accordingly with under-age-18 volunteers; thus everyone please answer the 18(+) age question with Y-yes or N-no!

As you proceed through this survey, if you have talents or interests that are not addressed in the survey, please add info in the COMMENTS section at the end.   This survey is not meant to be limiting, after all!

Many thanks for taking the time to complete this survey - we look forward to volunteering with you, soon!
