Save a Life! Foster a Dog or Cat!

Flexible Schedule | Bellingham, WA 98227

Fostering takes time and effort but the rewards are tremendous. Fostering can be an ideal way to enjoy the companionship of a dog or cat while waiting for" the right one" to come along! We pay the food, veterinary and other expenses; you provide the TLC. The Alternative Humane Society will do everything possible to make the right match for both the foster home and the animal that we have rescued. Agreeing to foster an animal means taking on a big responsibility. We try to ensure that everyone in your household realizes this. We interview prospective foster families to ensure they can provide both the required daily care and also give lots of love! Before placing an animal into your care, we also conduct a house visit and discuss any special needs that the animal may have. We pay for medical care, and any other special costs, that an animal may require while in a foster home. If you’re interested in fostering for the Alternative Humane Society, please fill in our on-line application form found on our website at www.alternativehumanesociety.com or contact us at alternativehumanesociety@gmail.com.

Be a Voice for a Dog Case Managing with the Alternative Humane Society

Flexible Schedule | Bellingham, WA 98227

Alternative Humane Society needs Case Managers in various Bellingham and Whatcom County neighborhoods. The job of the case manager is to find the perfect match for each dog he or she is case managing. You will work with various foster homes keeping an open line of communication to ensure the dog is progressing socially and getting up to date on all vaccinations and medical care at our pre-chosen vet clinics, as well as up to date training and daily exercise. You will write an enticing Petfinder.com and Adoptapet.com bio and take flattering pictures of the dog with the help of the dogs' foster parents. You will ensure the dogs' traits and needs are met and that the dog is adopted into a home that is a perfect match for each individual case. You will respond to each applicant whether it be a match or not and set up meet n greets with good candidates. You will abide by Alternative Humane Society policies and procedures to rehome various dogs in need. You will supply foster homes with various supplies, treats, food, etc. provided by the organization. Majority of duties can be completed via email. Occasional transport and presence at events is required. Saving the lives of dogs is a very rewarding volunteer job and you will continue to gain knowledge and create bonds throughout your volunteer time with AHS.
