    Description

    Temp Foster Matchmaker

    We are looking for some dedicated Temp Foster Matchmakers to work with our Foster Matching Team in helping to arrange and organize temporary foster homes for our rescue pups as needed. Sometimes our regular foster families go out of town or have emergencies come up, and these volunteers will be coordinating the short-term stay of a TAP foster dog in a new, temporary foster home. Some temp fosters have ended up falling in love and adopting their temp foster dog, so not only do you get to play matchmaker and help a rescue dog sleep well while their main foster is away, you could actually be the reason that a TAP pup finds their perfect forever family!

    This position requires a commitment of 2-3 hours a week for 3 months minimum. You must have basic knowledge of Google Sheets and be able to check and reply to texts and emails on a daily basis. All candidates must reside in the United States and communications with fosters must take place within Pacific Time Zone hours.

    If this is something you would be interested in, please fill out a Volunteer Application on our website: https://theanimalpad.org/volunteer/volunteer-application/
