Foster Liaison

Save to Favorites

The Animal Pad all-breed dog rescue is searching for reliable volunteers who are free on weekdays and/or weekends, and are comfortable handling dogs and interacting with our fosters during our vetting days at our La Mesa facility. These volunteers would have the title of Foster Liaison!

This is a hands-on role that involves greeting fosters and their dogs when they arrive at the facility, walking or carrying dogs to the vet room, helping set up and break down crates as needed, and relaying important medical info between the fosters and the Vetting team. You will also usher dogs awaiting medical clearance to and from their temporary kennel and the vet room. Most of the time onsite is outside (under shade), manning a check in area at our front door. We have our vetting clinics 2-4 times per week, with Monday being our most consistent day to see dogs at our headquarters. Our vet's schedule changes week-to-week but we often have clinics on Tuesdays and Thursdays,as well as every other Saturday. Most clinic days are broken down into 2 shifts, mornings (7:45am-12:30pm) and afternoons (12:30pm-5:15pm). Ideally, 2 Foster Liaisons work together during each shift so we always have a volunteer out front to greet people who come by!
Edit to add: The cuddling opportunities for this role will be endless!

**Because this is an in-person volunteer opportunity, we are only accepting volunteers who are located in San Diego, CA.**
