Remote Volunteer Adoption Coordinator | Animal Rescue | Flexible Schedule

Help Us Save More Lives!

Ruff Dog Rescue is a 100% volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in need.

We receive a high volume of adoption applications and need dedicated volunteers to help keep the process moving. Our Adoption Coordinators play a vital role in matching rescued dogs with loving families, making room for us to save even more lives.

You don't have to foster a dog to help save a life. You can make a difference right from home!

What You'll Do

• Review and manage assigned adoption applications.
• Coordinate veterinary, reference, landlord, and online background checks with fellow volunteers.
• Conduct virtual home visits or arrange for another volunteer to complete them.
• Work with foster families to identify the best match for each dog and coordinate meet-and-greets.
• Coordinate adoption contracts and follow up on deposits and payments.
• Maintain accurate records in our Petstablished rescue management platform.
• Communicate with applicants, fosters, and volunteers throughout the adoption process, including notifying applicants who were not selected.

Who We're Looking For

• Organized, dependable individuals with strong communication and project management skills.
• Comfortable using computers, email, and cloud-based software.
• Able to manage multiple tasks, follow up consistently, and work independently.
• Compassionate, detail-oriented, and committed to finding the right home for each dog.

No prior rescue experience required. Training is provided!

Time Commitment

We ask volunteers to plan for approximately 5 hours per week, although the workload varies based on application volume. Some weeks may be busy, while others may be quiet.

You can help determine how many applications you're comfortable managing. We simply ask that you remain responsive and follow through on the applications you accept.
