We are growing so much, that we need even more volunteers!

We have had an exciting growth spurt lately and have reached an unprecedented number of foster homes! Yay! What we need now is a group of people who would be willing to work with our foster homes, as we have way too many for one person to continue managing alone.


We are looking for about 5 or 6 volunteers, who will each be responsible for 5 – 10 foster homes. We will have one person to manage and oversee all foster home work, (Sarah). What we would like to have our 5 – 6 foster home coordinators do is listed below.


Tasks:
Each volunteer will be responsible for a number of foster homes, (maximum of 10). We will try to arrange them geographically so that when you make visits, you can hopefully stay in one area of the city;

Ensure that foster homes have all the necessary paperwork, (adoption forms/packages, foster homes contracts filled out);
Ensure that foster homes have supplies if needed, (donations can be obtained from Sarah);
Take photos of new intake animals and send them to Sarah for posting;
Take history/behavioural notes on new foster animals and send them to Sarah for ads;
Vaccinate as needed;
Work with Alanna and Brittany, (adoption screeners), to ensure that good communication happens about potential adoptions;
Be the contact person for the foster home if they have any issues or concerns and questions;
Check in with the foster homes regularly to ensure that they are managing well - do visits as needed, perhaps once a week but less frequently if not needed.


As the foster home manager, Sarah will continue to: determine where new rescues go, authorize vet visits, store donated supplies, maintain adoption and vaccination lists and of course be a resource person for you if you have questions or concerns at any time. We will also provide all the training you will need, (ie – to administer vaccinations, etc.)


We are very excited about the growth we have seen in the past months and we hope it continues! We can’t keep making differences in animals’ lives without your help. Please consider becoming a foster home coordinator, and contact me at jodyfrancais@hotmail.com if you can help.
