VETERINARY COORDINATOR:
The vetting coordinator reaches out to the fosters vet to establish an account, provide previous medical records, obtain estimates and provide authorization for routine exams, routine procedures (spay, neuter etc.) and other necessary visits.
The vetting coordinator also maintains the dogs medical profile in our system by creating medical records and uploading medical history.

INTAKE TEAM:
Coordinates the intake of all dogs coming into rescue. This role requires understanding and compassion, as you often work directly with owners that need to surrender their beloved dog. This is a fast-paced role that has a higher level of urgency than many other volunteer opportunities and can be stressful at times. However, it can also be very rewarding. We currently have a leader for this team and are looking to add 2-3 more team members.

PLACEMENT COORDINATORS:
A placement coordinator evaluates a dog currently in foster care and identifies the ideal adopter with the goal of setting the dog up to be the happiest and most successful it can be in its Forever Home. Using the combined knowledge of the dog from the vetting coordinators, behavior from foster coaches, likes/dislikes from foster parents along with your intuition you will make an informed placement decisions.
