Founding Board Member: Volunteer Vice President (Colorado Based Rescue)

🐺 About Cavalli’s Husky and Wolfdog Rescue

Cavalli’s is a newly launched, PACFA-licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to saving and rehabilitating Huskies and Wolfdogs—two breeds that are highly intelligent, independent, and frequently misunderstood in traditional shelter systems.

We’re a foster-based rescue operating from private property in Southern Colorado, with a grassroots, heart-led approach focused on doing things the right way—even if that means growing slowly. From containment to adoption, everything we do is designed with breed-specific care, safety, and long-term success in mind.

We are currently in the infrastructure phase and seeking mission-aligned, hands-on founding board members to help guide our development.

The Vice President will work closely with the Founder/President and play an active role in helping shape the structure, strategy, and early partnerships of the rescue.

💼 Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the Founder to develop and guide the rescue’s strategic direction
• Assist in setting up organizational systems, policies, and board governance practices
• Support decision-making around growth, partnerships, and long-term planning
• Attend quarterly board meetings and assist in ad-hoc planning as needed
• (Optional) Support with community engagement, local networking, or advocacy

✅ Ideal Candidate:

• Based in Colorado, or highly familiar with rescue or nonprofit operations in the state
• Experienced in leadership, animal welfare, nonprofit operations, or community engagement
• Understands or is eager to learn about the unique needs of Huskies and Wolfdogs—including behavior, training, adoption challenges, and public perception

• Bonus: Startup nonprofit experience, rescue work, or operational strategy background
