Foster Coordinator
Requirements
Estimated Weekly Hours:
~5-10 hours per week
Age Requirement:
18+
What we are looking for
- Personable and good communicator.
- Experienced enough with huskies to offer basic advice as needed; we have training we can provide.
- Basic knowledge of emailing tools (we primarily use gmail) and google suite (docs, sheets).
- Passion for the volunteer work we do and the impact we are making to save lives.
- Enthusiasm for volunteering with a team that shares the same mission to help pups in need
What you can expect to do:
We are trying to grow, and to do this we need volunteers! We are looking to bring on a few Foster Coordinators to help streamline our network and allow us to take on more dogs. The Foster Coordinator will manage communications with a set number of fosters and report back to our team, including our Intake and Adoption Coordinators. Typical necessary foster communications include:
- Regular updates on how a foster dog is doing in their foster home
- Answer questions on our process (training will be provided)
- Coordinate with fosters for any medical appointments on their availability
- Answer behavioral questions and give advice to fosters to help solve any transitional issue.
- Communicate with the team when foster is in need of any basic supplies for their foster dog
- Optionally attend adoption events and assist in facilitating event and visitor interactions
We understand that this is a volunteer position, and as such the Foster Coordinator can define how much time they are able to commit.
What you'll get!
- The incredibly rewarding experience of seeing dogs go from homeless to their forever home
- You’ll become part of an amazingly supportive community of husky lovers.
- Experience with internal rescue processes and non-profit operations.
- We are a 501c3 and volunteer work with us eligible to be used for college and grad school admissions applications.
- Exposure to lots of snuggles with adoptable pups!
