What We Need:
Home Visit Volunteers
A home visit volunteer screens and visits every prospective adopting individual or family. We want to make sure that each adopter’s home has certain required elements and that they will provide a safe, loving, life-long home for one of our rescues. This is a great position for couples! Training is provided.
Fosters
This is our greatest need. Foster homes allow us to put our rescues in a loving family environment that provides attention, care and most of all their hearts! The more foster families we have, the more animals we can save! An interview and home visit are required before a volunteer can foster. Apply to be a foster by filling out a Foster Application. Training and support is provided.
Transporters
Most of our dogs come from shelters all over the Valley. When we decide to intake a rescue animal, we need to retrieve the dog and get him or her into our vets for care and then off to a foster family. We also need help taking dogs to foster's homes and to and from vet appointments.
Fundraising/Event Coordinators
CARE Medical Fund relies heavily on public donations. We need volunteers that are people-oriented and social butterflies that can help coordinate and set up events at various locations, help with annual garage sales, participate in dog related activities, etc. These fundraising events are not only vital to raising money for medical costs, but saving our rescues and getting them into forever homes.
Intake Coordinator
This is a very important job in order to bring dogs into the rescue. You will need to identify suitable rescue candidates and work with the Medical Advisory Coordinator in order to bring dogs into the rescue. You will also coordinate transports and help set vet appointments with fosters. Excellent people skills required and ability to evaluate dogs is helpful, but we can also train the right person.
